What becomes clear by comparing India's north-south (3214) km and east-west (2933) km extents?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: North-south extent is slightly greater

The two figures describe distances in different directions across India. The north–south extent is 3214 km, while the east–west extent is 2933 km. Comparing the numbers directly shows that 3214 is larger than 2933. The difference is 281 km, so the north–south length is greater, although the two measurements are fairly close.

Thus, option D is correct: India’s north–south extent is slightly greater. Option A reverses the comparison. The other choices do not describe the figures at all: neither measurement is zero, and a distance across the country is not the same thing as a coastline. The important method is to match each number with its direction before comparing the values.
