Longitudinal extent of Brazil: Brazil being the 4th largest country in the world has an area 4,319 kilometers from east to west (34 degrees 47 minutes 30 seconds E to 73 degree 59 minutes 32 seconds W longitude).
Longitudinal extent of India: India being one of the biggest countries in Asia has an area of 2933 kilometers from east to west (68 degrees 7 minutes E to 97 degrees 25 minutes E longitude)
The difference is ≅ 10 degrees with Brazil being longer.
