The 2.4 percent fact related to India's area should not be confused with what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India's coastline

The correct answer is India’s coastline. The commonly taught 2.4 percent figure refers to India’s share of the world’s geographical land area, not to the length of its coastline. A share of land area is expressed as a percentage because it compares one area with the total world land area. By contrast, coastline is a linear measurement and is expressed in kilometres; it cannot be represented by this particular percentage. Options B, C and D describe the area comparison or its geographical context, whereas option A is the misleading quantity to avoid confusing with the 2.4 percent fact.
