View question detailsWhich figure related to India's size is linked with world rank?
Correct answer: A
A figure connected with India’s size can describe its area, its position in a world ranking, or another geographical measurement. Among the given choices, “seventh rank” is the only figure that directly gives India’s worldwide position by area. The correct choice is A. The values 23°30′N and 82°30′E are important geographical coordinates, but they describe location rather than India’s rank in area. Two hours is not a measure of India’s size or its world position.
The reasoning is simple: India has an area of about 3.28 million square kilometres and is placed seventh among the countries of the world by area. Thus the words “world rank” point directly to option A. The latitude 23°30′N is associated with the Tropic of Cancer, and 82°30′E is used as India’s Standard Meridian; neither is an area ranking. Reading the question carefully prevents confusing size-related measurements with location-related coordinates. Therefore A is the only suitable answer.
How many countries are larger than India in area?
Correct answer: B
India is the seventh largest country, so six countries are larger than it. Exam tip: infer this from the seventh rank.
View question detailsWhich unit is suitable for expressing India's area?
Correct answer: A
A country's area is expressed in square kilometres. Exam tip: remember square kilometre as the unit of area.
View question detailsWhat is the approximate difference between India's east-west and north-south extents?
Correct answer: A
The difference between 3214 km and 2933 km is about 281 km. Exam tip: compare through simple subtraction.
