What is the difference between India's north-south and east-west extents?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 281 km

Direct answer: A, 281 km. The north-south extent is about 3,214 km and the east-west extent is about 2,933 km. To find the difference, subtract the smaller extent from the larger one: 3,214 − 2,933 = 281 km. Therefore, the north-south extent exceeds the east-west extent by 281 km. A is correct because it is the result of the required subtraction. B, 1,416.6 km, does not come from comparing these two standard extent figures. C, 7,683.4 km, is much too large and resembles an unrelated addition or mistaken operation. D, 9,100 km, is also unrelated to the subtraction. A common error is to add the two extents or confuse coastline data with geographical extent. Memory cue: difference means subtract; write the larger value first, then subtract the smaller value.
