India’s area is about 2.4 percent of the world’s land area. What does this statement show?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India’s share of the world’s total land area

The figure 2.4 percent expresses India’s proportion of the world’s total land area. In other words, if the world’s land area is treated as 100 equal parts, India accounts for approximately 2.4 of those parts. The governing concept is percentage share: a percentage attached to land area compares one country’s area with the global land total. It does not describe population, distance, or time. Population share would require a statement about people, while north-south extent would be measured in kilometres or degrees of latitude. The time difference from Greenwich depends on longitude and is expressed in hours. Therefore, option A correctly interprets the statistic as India’s share of world land area.
