What type of question trap is linking a correct number with a wrong unit in options related to India's size and extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: इकाई-आधारित भ्रम (Unit-based confusion)

The governing concept is dimensional accuracy: a numerical value has meaning only when it is paired with the correct unit. In questions on India’s area, the answer should normally be expressed in square kilometres, whereas distance or extent may be expressed in kilometres or degrees of latitude and longitude. A distractor may deliberately preserve a familiar-looking number but attach an unsuitable unit, such as kilometres to an area. Therefore, the solver must check both the figure and its dimension before accepting an option. Option A is correct because this is a unit-based confusion trap; the other choices do not describe a geographical or mathematical checking method.
