Which statement is correct when comparing India’s land boundary and total coastline?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India’s land boundary is about 15,200 km, while its total coastline is about 7,516.6 km.

Correct answer: A. A land boundary is the length of India’s borders with neighbouring countries on land. A coastline is the length where India’s land meets the sea, including the mainland and islands. In the figures used in this question, India’s land boundary is about 15,200 km and its total coastline is about 7,516.6 km. Since 15,200 is greater than 7,516.6, the land boundary is longer. Option B reverses the two figures, so it is incorrect. Option C gives the same unsupported value for two different geographical measurements and is incorrect. Option D is incorrect because percent expresses a share, while both boundary and coastline are lengths and must be measured in kilometres. Do not compare unlike units; here both values use kilometres, so direct numerical comparison is possible. Memory cue: boundary goes around land borders; coastline follows the sea, and the two measurements are not interchangeable.
