What is India's approximate north-south extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3214) km

The direct answer is B: 3214 km. North-south extent means the distance from India's northernmost mainland region toward its southernmost mainland point, measured broadly from north to south. In school geography, India's north-south extent is approximately 3,214 km, while its east-west extent is about 2,933 km. Thus the relevant figure is B. Option A, 2,933 km, refers approximately to the east-west extent, so it is a real Indian size figure but answers the wrong direction. Option C, 15,200 km, is the approximate length of India's land boundary, not its north-south spread. Option D, 7,516.6 km, is the commonly given total coastline length including island coasts, not a north-south distance. The word north-south is the important clue: it refers to latitudinal spread, whereas east-west spread is related to longitude. Do not confuse a distance across the map with a boundary length. Memory cue: north to south is 3214; east to west is 2933.
