Explanation

Pakistan's total land area is approximately 79.6 million hectares (or ~88 million ha including water bodies depending on the source). However, standard geography texts often cite the total area as around 79.6 to 80 million hectares. The figure 87.98 million ha is sometimes cited in older or specific agricultural reports for 'land utilization' specifically, but it's highly variable and context-dependent. Given the ambiguity and potential for outdated data, this requires review.
