Answer 1

In terms of population, only China is ahead of India. India has got only 2.4 per cent of the total land area in the world but is the home of 16.7 per cent of the world’s population. In terms of geographical area, Russia, China, Canada, Brazil, America and Australia are larger than India. Thus India is the seventh largest country in the world.

China with 20 per cent of the world’s population has 7 per cent of the land area in the world. According to the 2001 Census, India’s population as on 1 March, 2001 was 102.7 crore comprising of 53.1 crore males and 49.6 crore females. Thus India is the second country in the world to cross the 100 crore mark after China.
