In India's size, 2933 kilometres shows extent in which direction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: East-west

The direct answer is B, east-west. India’s mainland extends about 2,933 kilometres from its western side to its eastern side. This is called its east-west or longitudinal extent, because it is measured across different longitudes. In a simple map idea, this is the country’s width from left to right. Option A, north-south, refers to the distance from the northern part toward the southern tip and is about 3,214 kilometres for India’s mainland, so it is not 2,933 kilometres. Option B is correct because 2,933 kilometres is the standard east-west extent given for India in school geography. Option C, north-west, names a diagonal direction rather than the standard pair of directions used to describe India’s size. Option D, south-east, is also a diagonal direction and does not describe the country’s principal measured extent here. The reasoning is: the figure describes the horizontal or west-to-east span; horizontal on a conventional north-up map means east-west; therefore choose B. Do not confuse the larger north-south figure with the east-west figure. Memory cue: India’s mainland is about 3,214 km north-south and 2,933 km east-west.
