Question

very few Indians are as rich as Azim Premji use the word richer instead of rich

Answer 1

The answer would be the following:

"Very fewer Indians are richer than Azim Premji"

This would be the correct answer because richer is a comparative word used to compare two objects. In this question, we are comparing two things, the wealth of an Individual and the wealth of other individuals. Therefore, we would use this comparative word in the sentence.

It is important to note however, that if you are comparing more than 2 objects then you would use the superlative word which has the "est" in the end. This should not be mistaken with the comparative term or it would not be grammatically correct.
