Hint:The line is named after foreign secretary of British India and the head moderator of the agreement at Shimla. It is extended for 890 Kilometers(550 miles) in total from Bhutan to the great bend of the Brahmaputra River.

Complete answer:
McMohan Line is a line that has been agreed on by Britain and Tibet as a part of the Shimla agreement. McMohan line is the real or actual line although perhaps not officially declared by the Chinese government.

The McMohan Lina is a line that separates the Tibetan and the north-east area of India formally suggested by British administrator Sir Henry McMohan at the 1914 Simla convention. It is a boundary generally recognized between China and India, in spite of the fact that it is not officially declared by the Chinese government.
McMohan was the foreign secretary of British India. The McMohan line was signed by McMohan and Lonchen Satra on the behalf of Tibetan Government.
The McMohan line covers a total of 890 Kilometers(550mi). It starts from Bhutan in the west to the east beans of the Brahmaputra River, beside the summit of the Himalayas.
The McMohan line was firstly rejected by the Indian Government because it was not falling within the terms of the 1907 Anglo-Russian agreement.
