1. I think this example is fine.
2. I think this is correct too. Alex's version is also correct.
3. This is OK for daily conversation, except "land" sounds much better in the singular. More correctly for more formal contexts: "India has more arable land than China."
4. "India needs another 20 years of/with an average growth rate OF 10% (in order) to reach the GDP China has achieved in 2020". You can say "The GDP grew by 10%". But in your sentence it should be "growth rate of 10%"

1. NO, you can't say like that. Makes no sense in English
2. "He always makes flattering remarks"
3. " India has more farmable lands than China" or more formally "Compared to China, India has more farmable lands"
4. That makes no sense. Try " In order to reach China, India needs to grow GDP by 10% annually for 20 years"
