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.

(a)भारताचा काही भू-भाग उत्तर गोलार्धात असून काही भू-भाग दक्षिण गोलार्धात आहे. / Some land area of India is situated in the northern hemisphere and some in the southern hemisphere.

(b)भारताचा दक्षिणोत्तर विस्तार सुमारे 7500 कि.मी. पेक्षा हि जास्त आहे. / The extension of India from north to south is approximately more than 7500 km.

1)विधने 'अ' आणि 'ब' दोन्ही बरोबर आहेत / Statements 'A' and 'B' both are correct

2)विधाने 'अ' आणि 'ब' दोन्ही चूक आहेत / Statements 'A' and 'B' both are incorrect✓ Correct

3)विधान 'अ' बरोबर असून विधान 'ब' चूक आहे / Statement 'A' is correct but statement 'B' is incorrect

4)विधान 'अ' चूक असून विधान 'ब' बरोबर आहे / Statement 'A' is incorrect but statement 'B' is correct

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).
