Which pair is correct for direction-based analysis of India's size and extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Latitude — north-south, longitude — east-west

The governing concept is the orientation of the geographic coordinate system. Latitude is measured north or south of the Equator, and parallels of latitude run generally east-west; nevertheless, latitude indicates north-south position. Longitude is measured east or west of the Prime Meridian, and meridians run generally north-south; consequently, longitude indicates east-west position. Thus, option A gives the correct direction-based pairing for analysing India's extent. Option B reverses the meanings of the coordinates. Options C and D do not pair geographic measurements with their proper directional roles: coastline and boundary are territorial features, while percentage and area are measurements rather than coordinate directions.
