Which option detects a wrong match related to India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2.4 percent land boundary

The direct answer is C: 2.4 percent is not India’s land-boundary length; it is India’s approximate share of the world’s total geographical area. First separate the units and categories. India extends about 3,214 km from north to south and about 2,933 km from east to west. Its land boundary is about 15,200 km, while its coastline, including islands, is about 7,516.6 km. India occupies roughly 2.4% of the world’s land area. Option C is therefore the wrong match because a percentage of area has been placed under a boundary measurement. Option A is correct for the north-south extent. Option B is correct for the east-west extent. Option D is the conventional textbook figure for India’s land boundary, although figures can vary slightly with measurement methods and textbook conventions. The main lesson is to check both the number and its unit: kilometres measure distance, while percent expresses a share. Memory cue: 2.4% means area share, not boundary length.
