Examine the following statements and select the correct option : Statement 'A': Some land area of India is situated in the northern hemisphere and some in the southern hemisphere.

Both statements are incorrect. India is entirely situated in the Northern and Eastern hemispheres (no part in the southern hemisphere). Also, India's north-to-south extension is about 3,214 km, not more than 7500 km (7,516 km is India's coastline length including islands).
