Why is it wrong if an option calls India's 8°4′N to 37°6′N extent longitudinal?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because N denotes latitude

Correct answer: A, because N denotes north latitude. Latitude measures distance north or south of the Equator and is written with N or S. India’s north–south extent is approximately 8°4′N to 37°6′N, so these values describe its latitudinal extent. Longitude measures distance east or west of the Prime Meridian and is marked E or W. India’s longitudinal extent is expressed with east longitudes, approximately 68°7′E to 97°25′E. Option B is wrong because these coordinates are within India’s broad latitudinal range, not outside the country. Option C is wrong because they describe geographic position, not a maritime boundary. Option D is wrong because standard time is connected with a selected meridian, not with the letter N. Thus A is the only correct explanation. Memory cue: N/S indicates latitude; E/W indicates longitude.
