In the context of India's location what does (E) mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: East

In geographical coordinates, the letter E means east. It is used with longitude to show that a place lies east of the Prime Meridian, which is the reference line at 0° longitude. For example, a coordinate written as 77° E indicates a position 77 degrees east of that meridian. The letter W similarly means west. These letters are directional indicators and help specify the location of a place on a map or globe.

Option A, East, is correct. Option B is the opposite longitude direction, while North and South are used with latitude rather than with the east-west longitude labels. The reasoning is simply to identify the standard abbreviation: E = East and W = West. If the question shows only “(E)” in the context of India’s location, it refers to the eastern side or east longitude. Therefore, no calculation is needed; recognizing the coordinate convention leads directly to the answer.
