the carpet area depends also on the thickness of the walls and the number of walls shared with other flats i.e a flat open on three sides will own all 9" walls wheras a flat which shares walls with other flat will have less wall space (9/2 = 4.5") hence will have more percentage of carpet area. But we generally like a flat to be open on 3 sides.
the construction of wall with bricks will have 9" or 10.5" with plastering as bricks are uneven whereas a wall built with blocks will be 6-7" thick.again a increase in carpet area for the same plinth area.
But blocks are not preferred by all, they have their own set of problems.

The size of the flat is a big factor in determining the % of carpet area
A 1000 sq ft 2 BHK will have more carpet area than a 1000 sq ft 3 BHK as you will have more partition walls.
many bullders have 9" partition walls and many have 4.5" walls makes quite a diff in carpet area.
therefore plinth area is a better comparision
