To find the difference in population between China and India, we can subtract the population of India from the population of China.
China's population is 1.45 × 10⁹
India's population is 1,400,000,000
1.45 × 10⁹ - 1,400,000,000 = 5 × 10⁸
Therefore, the difference in population between China and India is 5 × 10⁸.
The answer is C. 5 × 10⁸.
