How is India's eastern position understood with reference to the Prime Meridian?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India is in eastern longitudes, so it lies east of the Prime Meridian

The Prime Meridian is the reference line of 0° longitude passing through Greenwich. Locations east of it are assigned east longitudes, while locations west of it are assigned west longitudes. India's mainland lies approximately between 68°7′E and 97°25′E, so its longitudes carry the east designation and its territory is east of the Prime Meridian. Hence, option A is correct. Option B reverses India's position, option C incorrectly places the country on 0° longitude, and option D denies the coordinate system used to locate every part of India. The distinction is about longitude, not about distance from the Equator or the country's area.
