भारताच्या तुलनेत महाराष्ट्राची माहिती पडताळता काय खरे नाही ?

The correct answer is Option D (Maharashtra has about 13% of India's total forest area).

Key Points:
• Comparative Profile of Maharashtra vs. India:
• Districts & Villages (Statement 1 - True): Maharashtra accounts for roughly 6.5% to 7% of India's total districts and villages.
• Area & Population (Statement 2 - True): Maharashtra comprises 9.36% of India's total geographic area (3,07,713 km² out of 32.87 lakh km²) and 9.28% of India's total population (11.24 crore as per Census 2011), both approximately 9%.
• Cultivated Area (Statement 3 - True): Maharashtra possesses roughly 11% to 12% of the country's net cropped land.
• Forest Area (Statement 4 - False): Recorded forest area of Maharashtra is ~61,900 km², which constitutes only about 8% of India's total forest cover (not 13%; states like Madhya Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh have much higher shares). Hence, statement 4 is incorrect.
• Key Takeaway: Maharashtra holds ~9.36% area, ~9.28% population, ~11% cultivated land, but only ~8% of India's forest cover (not 13%).
