What type of information do India's north-south (3214) km and east-west (2933) km extents provide?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Information of directional spread

The direct answer is A, information about directional spread. The two figures describe how far India extends in two different directions: about 3214 km from north to south and about 2933 km from east to west. Together, they help us understand the country’s geographical size and shape on a map. Option A is correct because both numbers are measurements of directional extent. Option B, world share, would describe India’s proportion of the world’s area or population, but neither given figure does that. Option C, total coastline, is wrong because coastline is a measurement along the sea edge and is represented by figures such as 7516.6 km. Option D, land boundary, is wrong because land boundary means borders with neighbouring countries and is approximately 15,200 km in the standard school context. The reasoning is to match the meaning of the pair, not merely notice that all values use kilometres. These are not one continuous border and not a coastline. Memory cue: north-south plus east-west tells the country’s spread; coastline and land boundary are separate measurements.
