| Assertion (A) The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of the mainland is about 30° but the East-West extent appears smaller than the North-South extent. |
| Reason (R) The North-South distance of India is 3214 km. |
A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C) A is true, but R is false.
D) A is false, but R is true.
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] The latitudes are equidistant from each other but distance between longitudes decreases as one moves from equator to poles. Thus, in spite of having same latitudinal and longitudinal extent, (30°), the East-West extent of India appears smaller than its North-South extent.
