Correct answer: D
Explanation
The total area of Pakistan is approximately 796,095 square kilometers. Since 1 million hectares equals 1 million square kilometers (actually 10,000 sq km per million ha, so 796,095 sq km = 79.6 million hectares), the value is roughly 80 million hectares. However, standard geographical data often cites Pakistan's area as ~796,095 sq km which converts to ~79.6 million hectares. Option B (80) is a rounded figure. Wait, let me double check the conversion. 1 hectare = 0.00001 sq km. So 1 million hectares = 10,000 sq km. Pakistan area ~796,095 sq km. 796,095 / 10,000 = 79.6095 million hectares. This rounds to 80. So B is likely correct in the context of MCQs. However, some sources might say 77.9 or 79.6. Given the options 60, 80, 95, 80 is the closest standard approximation used in Pakistani competitive exams.
