Answer

  • India occupies 2.4% land area of the world and supports 17.5% of the world’s total population.
  • Brazil occupies 5.6% of land area of the world and supports only 2.75% of the world’s total population.
  • Average density of population in India is about 382 persons per sq. km. while average density of population in Brazil is around 23 persons per sq. km.
  • Thus Brazil’s population is lesser than India, but it occupies a larger land area than India.
  • So, the per capita land availability is more in Brazil as compared to India.
