Which figure should be identified as east-west distance in India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2933 km

India’s east-west extent is the distance from its western side to its eastern side. In standard school geography, this distance is about 2,933 kilometres. It describes the horizontal or width-like spread of the country on a map. The north-south extent is a different measurement, about 3,214 kilometres, so the two figures should not be confused.

Among the choices, 2,933 km is the only figure used for India’s east-west extent, making option B correct. The figure 3,214 km refers to the north-south extent. The larger values, 15,200 km and 6,100 km, refer to other geographical measurements or are not the required national extent. A useful memory aid is to associate east-west distance with the country’s width and north-south distance with its length.
