Writing India's area as about 3.28 million square kilometres is equal to what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: About 32.8 lakh square kilometres

This question tests the conversion between million and lakh. In the Indian numbering system, one million is equal to ten lakh. Therefore, 3.28 million means 3.28 multiplied by 10 lakh, which gives 32.8 lakh. In ordinary international notation, this is 3,280,000 square kilometres. The unit remains square kilometres throughout the conversion because only the number is being rewritten in another counting system.

Option A is correct because 3.28 million and 32.8 lakh represent exactly the same quantity. The other options are much smaller: 3,000, 300, and 1 lakh square kilometres cannot represent the area of India. A common mistake is to read “million” as “lakh” without applying the factor of ten. Remembering that 1 million equals 10 lakh avoids that error.
