India's east-west extent is correctly linked with which number?
Correct answer: D
India's east-west extent is about (2933) km. Exam tip: keep it separate from the north-south distance.
View question detailsWhich country is among the seven countries larger than India in area?
Correct answer: A
India is among the world’s largest countries by area, but several countries are larger than it. China is one of the seven countries whose total area exceeds India’s area. This comparison is about the size of the whole country, not population, economic strength, or the length of a boundary.
Option A is correct because China has a considerably larger geographical area than India. Nepal and Bhutan are much smaller countries located near India, while the Maldives is a very small island country. The wording asks for one country from the group larger than India, and China clearly satisfies that condition. In a standard list, the countries larger than India are generally Russia, Canada, China, the United States, Brazil, Australia, and Argentina.
Which country is included among countries larger than India in area?
Correct answer: B
Brazil is larger than India in area. Exam tip: keep Brazil in the list of countries larger than India.
View question detailsWhich country comes in the list of countries larger than India?

View question detailsIn the context of India's size (3214) km is used for what?

View question detailsIn the context of India's size (2933) km is used for what?
Correct answer: C
(2933) km is the figure for India's east-west extent. Exam tip: connect it with longitudinal spread.
View question detailsThe figure (7516.6) km related to India's size is connected with what?
Correct answer: D
7516.6 km is the length of India’s total coastline, including the coastlines of the mainland and islands. Therefore, total coastline is the correct answer. India’s north-south extent is about 3214 km and its east-west extent is about 2933 km, so neither matches this figure. Exam tip: remember 7516.6 km as India’s coastline length.
View question detailsThe figure (15200) km related to India's size is connected with what?
Correct answer: A
The figure 15,200 kilometres refers to the approximate length of India’s land boundary. A land boundary is the line where a country meets neighbouring countries on land. It is different from the coastline, which is the boundary along seas and oceans, and it is also different from the north–south or east–west extent measured across the interior.
Option A is therefore correct. India shares land borders with several neighbouring countries, so the total length of those land borders is much greater than the length of the coastline. The number 15,200 km is commonly given in school geography for India’s land frontier, whereas the coastline is a separate, much shorter measurement. Thus the figure must not be confused with either national extent.
What becomes clear from India's area being (3.28) million sq km?
Correct answer: B
Such a large area makes India a large geographical unit. Exam tip: treat area as an indicator of size.
View question detailsWhat does the figure (2.4%) of world area tell in comparison with India's area?
Correct answer: C
(2.4%) tells India's share in the world's geographical area. Exam tip: connect percentage with area.
View question detailsWhat does India's large geographical size make possible?
Correct answer: D
Due to its large size India has different natural regions. Exam tip: study size and natural diversity together.
View question detailsWhat is the main difference between India's land boundary and coastline?
Correct answer: A
Land boundary shows land contact with neighbours and coastline shows maritime contact. Exam tip: keep the meanings separate.
View question detailsWhat happens to the total length when islands are included in India's coastline?
Correct answer: B
Including islands gives the complete figure of total coastline. Exam tip: remember islands in total coastline.
View question detailsWhich is the correct statement about India's share in world area?
Correct answer: B
India covers about 3.28 million square kilometres, which is approximately 2.4% of the world’s total geographical area. Therefore, option B is correct. 0.24% results from a decimal-place error, while 24% is far greater than India’s actual share. Exam tip: Remember 2.4% along with India’s seventh rank in the world by area.
View question detailsWhich statement related to India's area is correct?
