If a question refers to India's length-like north-south spread, which figure will be primary?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3214 km

The direct answer is C, 3214 km. In India’s standard geographical measurements, the north-south extent is about 3214 km, while the east-west extent is about 2933 km. The question uses ‘length-like’ wording to point to the distance from the northernmost to the southernmost part of the country, so we identify the north-south figure. Option C is correct because 3214 km is the north-south spread. Option A, 2933 km, is the east-west extent, so it is a real Indian measurement but answers the other direction. Option B, 6100 km, refers approximately to the mainland coastline, not the north-south distance. Option D, 7516.6 km, refers to the total coastline including the island groups in the commonly used school figure, not the north-south extent. The calculation is not needed: identify the direction first, then match the standard number. Memory cue: north-south is 3214; east-west is 2933. Do not choose a coastline number merely because it is also measured in kilometres.
