Question

It is expected that by 2010, revenue from data transfer as a percentage of total revenue will triple for India and double for Sweden. Assume that in 2010, the total revenue in India is twice that of Sweden and that the volume of data transfer is the same in both the countries. What is the percentage increase of ARDT in India if there is no change in ARDT in Sweden?By 2010, revenue from data transfer % triples for India and doubles for Sweden. Total revenue in India = twice that of Sweden. Volume of data transfer same in both. What is % increase of ARDT in India if ARDT in Sweden unchanged?

• A. 400%
• B. 550%
• C. 800%
• D. 950%
• E. cannot be determined
• A. Philippines and Austria
• B. Canada and Poland
• C. Germany and USA
• D. UK and Spain
• J. Denmark and Mexico
• A. Total revenue is the same in both countries.
• B. Total revenue in India is about 2 times that of Singapore.
• C. Total revenue in India is about 4 times that of Singapore.
• D. Total revenue in Singapore is about 2 times that of India.
• O. Total revenue in Singapore is about 4 times that of India.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let ARDT India initial = \(A\), Sweden = \(S\), volume = \(V\). Revenue from data transfer = ARDT × Volume. New % India = 3 × old %, Sweden = 2 × old %. Total revenue India = 2 × total Sweden. Using proportion equations, solve for \(A_{\text{new}}\) in terms of \(A_{\text{old}}\), find increase = 550%.

Answer 2

To determine which pair of countries has approximately the same volume of data transfer given that total revenue is the same, we need to consider various factors like the cost of data transmission in each country, which may not be directly available but might be deduced logically. Assuming equal revenue, the volume of data transferred would inversely relate to the cost or charge per unit of data. Therefore, countries with lower data transfer costs will have a higher volume of data transfer. Without concrete numerical costs available, we rely on typical cost assumptions or historical context—often, countries with similar economic status or development levels might have similar IT infrastructure costs.
Among Philippines and Austria, these countries might reflect similar costs due to Austria being a developed country where data costs might be lower, and Philippines, although a developing nation, often compensating high international rates with volume compromises due to competitive markets
Evaluating options (evenly paired with similar criteria contrasts on regional telecommunication strategies, data infrastructures and market regulatory differences), it appears Philippines and Austria align in total data transfer capacity effectively under assumed total equal revenue points. Consequently, based on contextual clues and regional assumptions, Philippines and Austria form the most suitable pair for having approximately the same data transfer volume under equal total revenue conditions.

Answer 3

To determine which statement is true, we need to understand that while the volume of data transfer is the same in both countries, the revenue generated depends on the pricing policy for data in each country. If India's pricing per unit of data is higher than that of Singapore, then India's total revenue will be more. Without specific values, let's assume India's price per data unit is significantly higher than Singapore's, which would mean:

• Let P_IN be the price per unit of data in India.
• Let P_SG be the price per unit of data in Singapore.

If P_IN is about 4 times P_SG, then:

• Total revenue in India = Volume of data × P_IN
• Total revenue in Singapore = Volume of data × P_SG
• If P_IN = 4 × P_SG, then India's revenue = 4 × Singapore's revenue.

Therefore, the correct statement is: "Total revenue in India is about 4 times that of Singapore." This occurs when India's pricing model heavily exceeds that of Singapore, given equivalent data transfer volumes.
