Why does India's area make it a large country even though its share of world land appears as a small percentage?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: World land is extremely large, so a small percentage also forms a vast area

The governing concept is the difference between relative share and absolute area. India occupies about 2.4% of the world’s geographical area, yet the total area of the world’s land surface is so vast that this fraction represents roughly 3.28 million square kilometres. Therefore, a small percentage can still correspond to an enormous physical territory. India’s commonly cited seventh position among the world’s countries also supports the conclusion that it is geographically large, although it is not the largest country. Option B is wrong because percentage is directly related to area when the total is known. Option C exaggerates India’s share, while option D confuses area with coastline length. Hence A is correct.
