India has about 2.4 percent of the world's land area, yet why does it rank seventh by area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the world's total land is very vast and India's share is comparatively large

The governing idea is relative comparison: a percentage must be interpreted against the size of the whole. The world’s land area is enormous, so 2.4% of it still represents about 3.28 million km², a very large national territory. That amount places India among the largest countries and traditionally gives it the seventh position by area. Option A correctly explains why a seemingly modest percentage can correspond to a substantial absolute area. Option B is mathematically false because 2.4% is far below 50%. Option C is false because Australia is larger than India, and option D confuses area ranking with coastline length.
