Which indicator is most useful to identify India's longitudinal extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: East direction indicator

Longitude expresses position east or west of the Prime Meridian, so directional indicators such as E and W are essential for identifying longitudinal extent. India lies entirely in the Eastern Hemisphere, and its longitudinal extent is commonly stated from about 68°7′E to 97°25′E. Therefore, option A is correct: the east indicator shows that the stated meridians lie east of Greenwich. A north indicator belongs mainly to latitude and identifies distance from the Equator. Square kilometres measure area, while a percent sign expresses a proportion; neither identifies longitude. The answer follows from matching the coordinate type with its directional suffix.
