• D. Japan’s industry GDP is US $1.25 trillion
• O. Both Japan’s and Germany’s industry GDPs are more than US $1 trillion

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine how many nations can be uniquely identified, we analyze the given data.
1. From the graph and options provided, we identify sectors contributing to GDP.
2. Given data:

• China: Highest agriculture GDP, US $1 trillion.
• USA: Follows China in agriculture GDP.
• UK: Highest service sector percentage contribution.
• France: Second in service sector percentage contribution.
• Nation A, B, G: Same GDP.
• India’s industry GDP is lower than Russia's, higher than Brazil's.

3. We correlate this with known GDP values:

Nation	Brazil	China	France	Germany	Japan	India	Russia	UK	USA
GDP	2	10	3	4	5	2	2	3	17

4. Applying conditions:

• Nations (2) – Brazil, India, Russia.
• Nations (3) – France, UK.
• Nations (10) – China.
• Nations (17) – USA.

5. Reconcile consistent information for unique identification:

• China: Largest agriculture sector GDP.
• USA: Second in agriculture sector GDP.
• UK: Highest service sector percentage.
• France: Second in service sector percentage.
• Russia: Higher than India's industry GDP.
• Identified nations: China, USA, UK, France, India, Russia.
  This leads to six nations being uniquely identifiable: China, USA, UK, France, India, Russia.

Answer 2

To solve which nation cannot be ruled out, we need to analyze the information given for each nation's GDP and sector contributions:

1. Review the GDPs: We know the GDPs of Brazil, China, France, Germany, Japan, India, Russia, UK, and USA, as given and need to match them with Nation A to I.
2. China has the highest agriculture GDP, indicating Nation that has the highest agriculture sector percentage times its total GDP should match China.
3. The USA follows China in agriculture GDP, so it should have the second highest value when calculating sector contribution.
4. The UK and France lead in service sector contributions by percentage, so Nations with highest service sector percentages should match them.
5. Nations A, B and G having the same GDP implies they are either Brazil, Russia, or India, each with a GDP of 2 trillion US$.
6. India's industry sector GDP lower than Russia's implies the percentage of the industry sector times GDP for India is less than for Russia, and more than Brazil.
7. From given options:
   • US is Nation I: The USA has the largest GDP (17 trillion). If Nation I has the highest GDP, the percentage distributions must match the USA’s known sector distribution information, i.e., second in agriculture.
   • Russia is Nation G: Russia has a GDP of 2 trillion USD, so Nation G must meet specific criteria with industry dominance compared to India and Brazil.
   • China is Nation C: Nation with highest GDP in agriculture should match China's requirements.
   • Japan is Nation E: GDP-wise, it is 5 trillion, check sector distributions to verify. Likely correct since options CANNOT be ruled out.
   • India is Nation B: Sector distribution considerations and GDP should match India's given industry information.

Among these, Japan is Nation E cannot be ruled out as options eliminate other nations based on GDP and sector criteria. To verify, ensure sector contributions accurately account for respective GDP standings and roles described.

Answer 3

To determine which piece of additional information does not help identify the nine nations, let's analyze the options against the given data:

1. Germany’s industry GDP is US $1.2 trillion: Knowing Germany's industry GDP as an absolute value helps to position it relative to other nations, but it may not uniquely identify Germany given other countries may have similar or close values.

2. The nation ranked fourth in terms of agriculture GDP has its agriculture GDP valued at US $150 billion: This information can significantly narrow down the possible countries since it provides a clear ranking and GDP value.

3. In terms of percentage contribution to the respective nations’ GDP, France and Japan’s agriculture sectors contribute the same: This information offers a unique insight, allowing direct comparison between France and Japan that could differentiate them from the others.

4. Japan’s industry GDP is US $1.25 trillion: Just like the Germany's industry GDP, knowing Japan’s specific industry GDP is a substantial identifier, depending on how other countries line up with similar metrics. However, as a general absolute metric, it leaves much to interpretation.

5. Both Japan’s and Germany’s industry GDPs are more than US $1 trillion: This information helps differentiate these two countries with a large GDP, but it’s less precise than knowing Japan’s industry GDP as in option 4, as it doesn’t pinpoint a specific figure.

Conclusion: The statement "Germany’s industry GDP is US $1.2 trillion" does not uniquely identify Germany among the nations, as similar GDP values may overlap with other countries. Thus, this option provides the least additional clarity for identifying the nations.
