Which is the largest neighbouring country of India?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → China
India’s neighbours are compared by their area. China, with about 9.6 million sq km, is the largest of them and the third or fourth largest country in the world, about three times the size of India. Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are all far smaller.
Tip: Do not mix this up with the longest border: India’s longest land border is with Bangladesh (about 4,096 km), not with China.
