What is the difference between 3.28 million square kilometres and 2.4% when describing India's area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The first is India's actual area; the second is its share of the world's land area.

The governing concept is the difference between an absolute measurement and a relative proportion. India covers about 3.28 million square kilometres, so that number is an area expressed in square kilometres and tells us how much surface India occupies. The figure 2.4% is not another measurement of length or boundary; it expresses India's share of the total land area of the world. Therefore, option A correctly assigns the meanings. Options B, C, and D confuse area and percentage with coastline, time, geographical coordinates, or boundaries. Keeping the units in mind makes the distinction clear.
