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

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2.4 percent

India occupies approximately 3.28 million square kilometres and is commonly stated in school geography to account for about 2.4 percent of the world’s geographical or land area. The governing idea is to compare India’s area with the total area of the world, not with the area of Asia or with the Earth’s entire surface including oceans. Rounded figures can produce slightly different calculations, but the accepted textbook value is 2.4 percent. Therefore, option B is correct. The alternatives are progressively larger estimates and overstate India’s share of global land. India is geographically very large and ranks among the world’s biggest countries by area, yet it still represents only a small fraction of the planet’s total land surface. This distinction explains why 2.4 percent, rather than 3.4 or 4.4 percent, is selected.
