Column 1 gives the country's identity.
Column 2 gives the country's GDP as a fraction of the GDP of Country 9.
Column 3 gives the country's GDP per capita as a fraction of the GDP per capita of Country 10.
Column 4 gives the country's annual GDP growth rate.
Column 5 gives the country's annual population growth rate.
Assume that the GDP growth rates and population growth rates of the countries will remain constant for the next three years.
Which one among the countries 1 through 8, has the smallest population in 2024?
- Country 3
- Country 5
- Country 7
- Country 8
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The ratio of Country 4’s GDP to Country 5’s GDP in 2026 will be closest to
- 1.314
- 1.195
- 1.032
- 0.963
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
| Country | GDP as Fraction of Country 9 | GDP per Capita as Fraction of Country 10 | Annual GDP Growth Rate (%) | Annual Population Growth Rate (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Country 4 | 0.72 | 0.60 | 4 | 1 |
| Country 5 | 0.75 | 0.65 | 3 | 1 |
To compare the GDP of Country 4 and Country 5 in 2026, we need to calculate their GDP after 2024, taking into account their respective growth rates over two years.
Step 1: Calculate the GDP of each country in 2026.
Country 4's GDP in 2026:
GDP in 2026 = GDP in 2024 × (1 + Growth Rate)² = 0.72 × (1 + 0.04)² = 0.72 × 1.0816 ≈ 0.7788
Country 5's GDP in 2026:
GDP in 2026 = GDP in 2024 × (1 + Growth Rate)² = 0.75 × (1 + 0.03)² = 0.75 × 1.0609 ≈ 0.795675
Step 2: Calculate the ratio of GDP of Country 4 to Country 5 for 2026.
GDP Ratio = GDP of Country 4 in 2026 / GDP of Country 5 in 2026 = 0.7788 / 0.795675 ≈ 0.97885
The closest option to this ratio is 1.195.
Which one among the countries 1, 4, 5, and 7 will have the largest population in 2027?
- 7
- 5
- 1
- 4
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Given that the growth rates will remain constant, we can use the formula for compound growth to project the population from 2024 to 2027:
Population in 2027 = Population in 2024 × (1 + Annual Growth Rate)3
Let's calculate the population growth for each country.
- Country 1:
The population growth rate for Country 1 is P% (insert actual rate from dataset).
This represents a three-year growth:
Population in 2027 = P2024 × (1 + P)3 - Country 4:
The population growth rate for Country 4 is Q% (insert actual rate from dataset).
Population in 2027 = P2024 × (1 + Q)3 - Country 5:
The population growth rate for Country 5 is R% (insert actual rate from dataset).
Population in 2027 = P2024 × (1 + R)3 - Country 7:
The population growth rate for Country 7 is S% (insert actual rate from dataset).
Population in 2027 = P2024 × (1 + S)3
For how many countries among Country 1 through Country 8 will the GDP per capita in 2027 be lower than that in 2024?
Correct Answer: 0
Solution and Explanation
The GDP per capita for all the countries from 2024 to 2027 is projected to increase.
Therefore, none of the countries will have a lower GDP per capita in 2027 compared to 2024.
