What does India's location in eastern longitudes mean for its global position?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India lies east of the Prime Meridian

The governing concept is geographical longitude. Longitudes are angular distances measured eastward or westward from the Prime Meridian, which is assigned 0° longitude at Greenwich. India extends approximately from 68°7'E to 97°25'E, so every part of the country is located east of the Prime Meridian. Therefore, option A correctly describes India's global position. This eastern location also has a time-related consequence: places farther east generally experience sunrise earlier than places to their west, although India uses one standard time for national uniformity. Option B reverses the direction, while options C and D contradict India's mapped location.
