What is India's approximate east-west extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (2933) km

The direct answer is option C: 2,933 km. India’s east–west extent means the distance from its easternmost part to its westernmost part. This is a longitudinal, or east–west, measurement, not a north–south measurement and not an area measurement. In the standard school geography data, India extends about 2,933 km from east to west. Therefore option C matches the required figure. Option A, 3,214 km, refers approximately to India’s north–south extent, so it is not the answer to an east–west question. Option B, 7,516.6 km, is the approximate length of India’s coastline, including the mainland and islands, so it measures the coast rather than the country’s east–west span. Option C is correct because 2,933 km is the accepted east–west extent. Option D, 15,200 km, is related to India’s total land boundary length, not its east–west extent. A useful exam cue is: east–west means longitude and about 2,933 km; north–south means latitude and about 3,214 km. Keeping these two figures together prevents a common mistake.
