What is the difference between India’s 7,516.6 km coastline and its 2.4% share of world area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The first is a length of coastline, while the second is India’s share of the world’s geographical area.

Correct answer: A. The two figures describe entirely different things and use different units. The value 7,516.6 km is measured in kilometres, a unit of length. It describes the total coastline of India, including the mainland and the islands. The value 2.4% is a percentage. It expresses India’s share of the total geographical area of the world; it is not a distance. Option B is wrong because a coastline is a maritime boundary, whereas a land boundary lies along land borders with neighbouring countries. Option C is wrong because east–west extent is a distance measured in kilometres, not a percentage, and 2.4% does not describe direction. Option D is wrong because neither number is a rank. A rank would be written as first, seventh, or another position in an ordered list. The safest method is to read the units before interpreting the figures: km means length, while % means proportion or share.
