Detailed Solution

The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of mainland of India is 30°. India is entirely located in the hemispheres of the north and east. India's primary land is between latitudes 68degrees 7' 53" and 97degrees 24' 47" east and between latitudes, 8 degrees 4' 28" and 37degrees 17' 53" north. India's latitudinal and longitudinal extents are roughly equal, at 30 degrees. From Kashmir in the north to Kanyakumari in the south, India's latitude ranges from 37°6′N to 8°4′N. India's length is 68°7′ to 97°25′ east to west, from Gujarat in the west to Arunachal Pradesh in the east. When we add up the two extents, we find they are roughly 30° apart.
