Understanding India's International Borders

This question asks us to arrange some of India's neighbouring countries based on the length of the border they share with India, from the shortest border to the longest border. To answer this, we need to know the approximate lengths of India's land borders with each of these countries: Nepal, Pakistan, China, Bhutan, and Myanmar.

Approximate Border Lengths with India

Arranging by Increasing Border Length

Now we arrange these countries based on their border lengths with India, starting from the shortest border to the longest border:

1. Bhutan (D) - 699 km (Shortest)
2. Myanmar (E) - 1643 km
3. Nepal (A) - 1751 km
4. Pakistan (B) - 3323 km
5. China (C) - 3488 km (Longest among the options)

So, the increasing order of the countries based on the length of the border India shares with them is D, E, A, B, C.

Let's check this order against the given options.

• Option 1: A, B, C, D, E (Nepal, Pakistan, China, Bhutan, Myanmar) - Incorrect
• Option 2: D, E, A, C, B (Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal, China, Pakistan) - Incorrect
• Option 3: D, E, C, A, B (Bhutan, Myanmar, China, Nepal, Pakistan) - Incorrect
• Option 4: D, E, A, B, C (Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, China) - Correct

Final Arrangement of India's Bordering Countries

The correct arrangement of the given countries in increasing order of the length of the boundary India shares with them is Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and China. This corresponds to the sequence D, E, A, B, C.

Additional Information on India's Boundaries

India shares land boundaries with several countries. The total length of India's land boundary is approximately \(\text{15,106.7 km}\). Here are some key points about India's international borders:

• The country with which India shares the longest land border is Bangladesh (approximately \(\text{4,096 km}\)). Bangladesh was not included in the list for this question.
• Among the options provided, China has the longest border with India, followed by Pakistan.
• The border lengths can sometimes have slight variations depending on the source and definition of the border.
• Understanding India's geographical boundaries is important for studying its political geography, strategic location, and relations with neighboring countries.
