Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
The land boundary is about twice the coastline, and the north–south extent of the mainland is a little more than its east–west extent, which settles the four figures.
(A) Land Boundary of India — this matches (III) 15200 km. India’s land frontier, shared with seven countries, is about 15,200 km long.
(B) Coastline — this matches (II) 7516.6 km. The coastline of the mainland together with the Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep islands is 7,516.6 km.
(C) North South Distance — this matches (I) 3214 km. From Kashmir in the north to Kanyakumari in the south, the mainland stretches about 3,214 km.
(D) East West Distance — this matches (IV) 2933 km. From Gujarat in the west to Arunachal Pradesh in the east, it stretches about 2,933 km.
