I got 7/8

I was surprised to know India has more roads than china.

In hindsight that should have been obvious. China was smart enough to lay stress on Rail connectivity that uses electricity rather than roads that consume petrol.

Let me save the time for the people on this forum.

7/8. Got the roads wrong. It is counterintuitive. China is geographically much bigger than India and has spent the past three decades building a lot roads. What's the reason behind it?

A dirt road is a road. A freeway is a road. It all depends on how you define the word road.

Is that how its defined in China ?

In India dirt roads are not defined as Roads. Only Tar roads and above are called Roads in India.

I don't know or care how third world India defines things. All I know is that India currently has less than 2% of the expressways in China. Good luck catching up.

Interesting, I thought China had more roads, spend higher % on military and more pollution. But the correct answers are India, India and India!

More roads is good. Expanding from existing roads is much easier than creating roads from scratch. You can avoid the endless arguing and fighting for route selections, land rights etc. I can understand why India spends relatively more on military. They just import too much. But Delhi is more polluted than any city in China? That's hard to believe. More pollute in the sense of "dirty" maybe, but no way it is more toxic chemically than the major cities in China.

7/8.

Got the trade imbalance figures wrong.
