Why should India's 2.4 percent share of world land not be considered insignificant despite sounding small?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because world land is vast and 2.4 percent still forms a very large area

A percentage must be interpreted in relation to the size of the whole. The world’s land area is enormous, so 2.4 percent of it represents about 3.28 million square kilometres, a very large national territory. India’s seventh position in the world area ranking supports this interpretation: the percentage is not the majority of world land, but it is substantial enough to make India one of the largest countries. Thus option A is correct. Option B is a numerical absurdity because 2.4 percent is not 240 percent. Option C wrongly claims that India possesses all world land, and option D ignores the value of percentages for comparison. The statement concerns scale, not ownership of the whole planet.
