Question

Mention the length and breadth of India.

Answer 1

Hint: The Indian territory is almost like the shape of a rhombus with a diagonal length of about 3000 kilometres and situated in the northern - eastern hemisphere.

Complete Step by Step answer: The extent of India from north to south is 3214 kilometres, i.e. from the Eastern point of Indira Col in Ladakh to Kanyakumari in the state of Tamil Nadu. The east-west extent of India is about 2933 kilometres, that is from the Sir Creek channel in Kutch, Gujarat to Dong village in Kibithu district, Arunachal Pradesh. Therefore, the length of India is 3214 kilometres while the breadth of India is 2933 kilometres so long as the administered region of India is considered. The Indian territory is bounded by People’s Republic of China Indian Ocean beyond Kanyakumari, Pakistan in the west beyond Sir creek and Myanmar in the East, beyond Kibithu.

Note: The southernmost point on the mainland of India is Kanyakumari, but the southernmost tip of Indian territory is Indira Point in the Nicobar Islands.
