The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Explanation:
Life insurance in Italy = 2500
Commission through agents = 14\(\%\) of 2500 = 350
Life insurance in Spain = 2000
Commission through agents and brokers = 14% + 5\(\%\) = 19\(\%\) of 2000 = 380
Thus, the life insurance sold through agents in Italy is \(\$\)30 million less than the life insurance sold through agents and brokers in Spain.
Therefore, Correct answer is option C\(:\) Less by $ 30 million.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Explanation:
Total life insurance in all countries = Italy + Spain + India + China + Pakistan + Russia + USA
Total life insurance = 2500 + 2000 + 15000 + 10000 + 1000 + 20000 + 30000
Total = 80500 million
Percentage of non-term insurance = 100\(\%\) - 12.5\(\%\) = 87.5\(\%\)
Value of non-term insurance = 87.5\(\%\) of 80500
\((\frac{87.5}{100})\times80500\)
= 70437.50 million
Therefore, the approximate value of non-term insurance is 70400 million.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Explanation:
Total life insurance sales in India = 15000 million
Sales by insurance agents in India = 14\(\%\) of 15000
\((\frac{14}{100})\times15000\)
= 2100 million
Commission earned by insurance agents = 0.5\(\%\) of 2100
\((\frac{0.5}{100})\times2100\)
= 10.5 million dollars
Therefore, the commission earned by the insurance agents is 10.5 million dollars.
So, Option C (10.5 million dollars) is the correct Answer.
