Answer 1

first you need to use List because of dynamically deleting objects. second you need

    @Override
    public int getItemPosition(Object object){
        return PagerAdapter.POSITION_NONE;
    }

to force the adapter to create new page each time and not using in memory pages.

 public class ViewPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
    // Declare Variables
    Context context;
    List<String> rank;
    List<String> country;
    List<String> population;
    List<Integer> flag = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    LayoutInflater inflater;

    public ViewPagerAdapter(Context context, String[] rank, String[] country,
            String[] population, int[] flag) {
        this.context = context;
        this.rank = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(rank));
        this.country = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(country));
        this.population = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(population));
        for (int i : flag){ 
            this.flag.add(i);
        }

    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return rank.size();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
        return view == ((RelativeLayout) object);
    }

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {

        // Declare Variables
        TextView txtrank;
        TextView txtcountry;
        TextView txtpopulation;
        ImageView imgflag;

        inflater = (LayoutInflater) context
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        View itemView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.viewpager_item, container,
                false);

        // Locate the TextViews in viewpager_item.xml
        txtrank = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.rank);
        txtcountry = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.country);
        txtpopulation = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.population);
         Button b=(Button)itemView.findViewById(R.id.button1);

         final int delPosition = position;

         b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

             @Override
             public void onClick(View v) {
                 rank.remove(delPosition);
                 country.remove(delPosition);
                 population.remove(delPosition);
                 flag.remove(delPosition);
                 notifyDataSetChanged();
             }
         });
        // Capture position and set to the TextViews
        txtrank.setText(rank.get(position));
        txtcountry.setText(country.get(position));
        txtpopulation.setText(population.get(position));

        // Locate the ImageView in viewpager_item.xml
        imgflag = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.flag);
        // Capture position and set to the ImageView
        imgflag.setImageResource(flag.get(position));

        // Add viewpager_item.xml to ViewPager
        ((ViewPager) container).addView(itemView);

        return itemView;
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        // Remove viewpager_item.xml from ViewPager
        ((ViewPager) container).removeView((RelativeLayout) object);

    }
    @Override
    public int getItemPosition(Object object){
        return PagerAdapter.POSITION_NONE;
    }
}
