In a question on India's size, in which direction should 68°7'E and 97°25'E be analysed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: East-west longitudinal extent

The governing concept is the distinction between latitude and longitude. The suffix E means east longitude, so both values identify meridians rather than parallels. Their difference, 97°25'E − 68°7'E, is about 29°18', which represents India's longitudinal spread from west to east. This spread is also related to differences in local solar time because Earth rotates through 15 degrees of longitude in approximately one hour. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B would require north or south latitudes, while coastline and total area are different measures and cannot be inferred from these coordinate values.
