India accounts for approximately what percentage of the world's land area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2.4 percent

The governing concept is the comparison of India’s area with the total land area of the world. India occupies approximately 2.4% of the world’s land area, so option B is correct. This figure is a geographical proportion, not India’s share of the Earth’s entire surface, which also includes oceans. India is the seventh-largest country by area and has a substantial population despite occupying a relatively small fraction of global land. The values 1.8%, 3.4% and 4.2% are plausible-looking distractors, but they do not represent the standard textbook estimate for India’s share of world land area. The key fact to retain is: India’s area is about 2.4% of the world’s land area.
