Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Because India covers an area of 3.28 million square km, which accounts for 2.8 percent of the total geographical areas of the world, India became the world’s seventh-largest country in terms of land area. According to the population, it is the second-largest country. India has a land border of around 15,200 kilometers. The overall coastline length comprises the two groups of islands, Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep, which is 7,516.6 km. This means that India’s total area accounts for around 2.4 percent of the world’s entire geographical area. Thus the correct statement would be India covers an area of 3.28 million square km, which accounts for 2.8 percent of the total geographical area of the world.
