In a question on India's size, what is the main difference between 15200 km and 7516.6 km?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The first is the land boundary and the second is the total coastline

The governing concept is the correct interpretation of linear measurements in India’s geographical extent. The figure 15,200 km refers to India’s land boundary, meaning the total length of its borders with neighbouring countries as reported in the relevant textbook context. The figure 7,516.6 km refers to the total coastline, including the mainland coast and the coasts of islands in the stated convention. Both are lengths, so kilometre is the appropriate unit, but they measure different kinds of contact. Option A is correct. The other options wrongly treat the figures as area, time, coordinates, population, or density.
