• A. India's population was more than 5 times that of Brazil.
• B. The population of India was more than 10 times that of Brazil.

• D. India had 17.5% of the world's population.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

India had 17.5% of the world's population.

Back in 2010, Brazil had a population of 19 crore, much lesser than the 121 crore population of India. This means that India's population was more than 6 times that of Brazil.

India made up about 17.5% of the world population, while Brazil contributed only about 2.78% to the world population.
