Solution
- Per capita land availability is the total land available per person in the country. It can be calculated as total land area/total population.
- The per capita land availability in Brazil is higher than that of India. It is because of two reasons.
- The total land area of Brazil is larger than the total land area of India. Brazil is the fifth-largest county in the world while India is the seventh-largest country.
- But the population in India is much higher than that of Brazil. India is the second-most populous country in the world while Brazil is in the fifth most populous country.
- The higher land area and the lesser population is the reason why the per capita land availability is more in Brazil.
