India's size is understood through several indicators together. Exam tip: category-wise study is the safest method.
View question detailsIndia’s east–west extent describes the distance from its western side to its eastern side. This is the country’s longitudinal spread, and the commonly given figure is about 2,933 km. A question using words such as width, east–west spread, or longitudinal extent is pointing toward this measurement rather than the north–south length or the coastline.
Therefore, option C, 2933 km, is correct. The figure 3214 km refers to India’s north–south extent, while 15200 km is associated with the length of the land boundary and 7516.6 km with the total coastline including islands. Reading the directional clue is essential: east–west means longitude and gives the width-like figure of 2933 km.
North-south extent is 3214 km. Exam tip: connect length-like clue with north-south extent.
View question details3214 and 2933 km are both directional distance figures. Exam tip: choose the same category for comparison.
View question detailsSquare kilometre is a unit of area, such as India’s total area. Kilometre is used for length or distance, such as the length of a land boundary or coastline. Percent shows a proportion or share of a total, such as India’s share of the world’s geographical area. Option B is incorrect because it uses square kilometres for length. Exam tip: use the unit first to identify whether a figure represents area, length, or proportion.
