Which is larger between India's total coastline and land boundary and why?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Land boundary is larger because 15,200 km is greater than 7,516.6 km

Direct answer: A, the land boundary is larger. The two figures are measurements of length, so they can be compared directly because both use kilometres. India’s land boundary is about 15,200 km, while the total coastline is about 7,516.6 km. Since 15,200 is greater than 7,516.6, the land boundary is longer. A is correct and also gives the correct reason. B reverses the numerical comparison: 7,516.6 is not greater than 15,200. C is wrong because using the same unit does not make two measurements equal; it only makes comparison possible. D is wrong because boundaries and coastlines are lengths, not areas. A useful check is to compare the first digits: 15 thousand is already more than 7.5 thousand. Memory cue: same unit permits comparison, but the numbers decide the result.
