In numerical facts related to India's size, what does 2.4 percent indicate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India's share in world land area

The governing idea is the comparison of India’s land area with the total land area of the world. India occupies roughly 2.4 percent of the world’s land area, even though it contains a much larger share of the world’s population. The percentage is calculated conceptually as India’s land area divided by the world’s total land area, multiplied by 100. It is therefore an area-share statistic, not a measurement of a boundary or a time difference. Option A is correct because it names the relevant denominator: the world’s land area. Option B is wrong because a coastline is a length, normally expressed in kilometres. Option C incorrectly treats the land boundary as a percentage, and option D confuses a spatial area statistic with the difference between time zones. Always identify the denominator before interpreting a percentage.
