Which option demands both mathematical and geographical understanding in India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Finding the difference between the total coastline and the mainland coastline shows the role of islands.

Correct answer: A. This option requires two kinds of thinking. First, a learner must use mathematics by subtracting the mainland coastline from the total coastline. Second, the learner must use geography to understand why the two values differ: the total coastline includes the coastline of the mainland as well as the coastlines of India’s islands. Thus, the difference gives an idea of the contribution of the islands to the total coastline. Option B gives a geographical ranking, but it does not require a calculation. Option C gives a percentage share and requires understanding what the percentage means, but no mathematical operation is asked for and the island idea is absent. Option D gives India’s area in square kilometres; it tests knowledge of a fact and the correct unit, but it does not require subtraction or an explanation of a geographical cause. Therefore A is the best answer because it connects a numerical operation with a physical-geography concept. Memory cue: calculate the difference, then ask what geographical feature explains it.
