Which statement based on India's size uses unit logic correctly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Square km indicates area, whereas km indicates length
Option A is correct. Square kilometres (
ext{km}^2
) are units of area, so India’s total area is expressed in square kilometres. Kilometres (km) measure length, such as the length of a coastline or a land boundary. Option B wrongly uses km for area; percentage shows a share or proportion, while rank shows only relative position. Exam tip: check the unit first to decide whether a geographical figure represents area, length, proportion, or position.
