In tricky options, if Sri Lanka and Maldives are placed in the land list, how will you identify the error?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Both are maritime neighbours so they will not come in the land list

The direct answer is A. Sri Lanka and Maldives are maritime neighbours: they are separated from India by sea, so they should not be placed in a list of land neighbours. A land boundary means the countries touch across solid land; a maritime neighbour is reached across a sea or ocean. Option A is correct because both countries are island countries located south or south-west of India across the sea. Option B is wrong because neither is a northern land neighbour. Option C is wrong because neither is an eastern land neighbour. Option D is wrong because neither lies with Pakistan in India’s north-western land-border group. The error can be found by asking, ‘Do the two countries share a continuous land boundary with India?’ For these two, the answer is no. Memory cue: islands near India—Sri Lanka and Maldives—belong in the maritime list, not the land list.
