How many countries are considered larger than India in area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Six

In standard school geography, India is commonly described as the seventh-largest country in the world by total area. To find how many countries are larger, subtract one from its rank: 7 − 1 = 6. Therefore, six countries are placed ahead of India in the usual area ranking. Option A is correct. The commonly listed countries are Russia, Canada, China, the United States, Brazil, and Australia. Rankings can vary slightly depending on whether total area, land area, water bodies, or disputed territories are counted, but the conventional textbook answer remains six. The other options do not follow from India’s seventh position: seven would wrongly count India itself, while three and two are too low.
