Answer 1

Hint:
 As we know India is a landlocked & also a water lock country. In south India is bounded by water whereas in the north it’s bounded by land means in the north it shares a border with some neighbouring countries.

Complete solution:
As we know India is the seventh-largest(by land) country in the world with a total area of approx 3.287 million square kilometres. In the south it’s bounded by the Indian Ocean but more specifically, by the Arabian Sea in the west, the Lakshadweep Sea in the southwest, the Bay of Bengal in the east, and the Indian Ocean particularly in the south. Securing borders is the foremost task for any country. To secure borders, the country has to know how many kilometres of the border it shares with different neighbouring countries. On the north side also on the east & west side, India shares its border with some neighbouring countries. With Pakistan, China, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Nepal India shares land borders of 3310 km,3488 km, 578 km, 106 km, 1750 km respectively. In percentage 21.77% with Pakistan, 22.94% with China, 3.8% with Bhutan, 0.69% with Afghanistan, & 11.51% with Nepal. As per the data, if Pakistan, China, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Nepal sharing land border with India are arranged in ascending order of percentage, Nepal will come in the middle

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
India shares a total 15,200 km border with its neighbour country. As we know that rather than those mentioned countries India shares borderland with Myanmar & Bangladesh 1458km(9.6%) & 4096km(26.9%). Also in south India shares maritime borders with Pakistan, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. As per the data India shares the longest border with Bangladesh & the shortest border with Bhutan.
