Why is it necessary to keep area, latitude and longitude in separate categories while studying India's size and extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because area shows landmass, latitude shows north-south position and longitude shows east-west position

Option A is correct because area, latitude and longitude describe different geographical properties and must not be treated as interchangeable measurements. Area expresses the extent of a landmass in square units. Latitude measures angular distance north or south of the Equator and helps identify a place’s north-south position, climate setting and solar angle. Longitude measures angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian and identifies east-west position; it also affects local time. They use different concepts and units, so combining them carelessly would produce incorrect conclusions about India’s size and extent. The other options confuse these categories or assign them meanings they do not possess.
