Correct Option - 4

Detailed Solution:

Population = 12 billion = > working population = 0.7 * 12 = 8.4 billion.

	Contribution to GDP ($ billion)	Number of People (billion)	Productivity ($/Person)
Agriculture	= 0.27 of 650 = 175.5	= (22/36) of 8.4 = 5.13	34.2
Manufacturing	= 0.22 of 650 = 143	= (9/36) of 8.4 = 2.1	68.1
Services	= 0.51 of 650 = 331.5	= (5/36) of 8.4 = 8.4	284.1
Working population	650	= 0.7 of 12 = 8.4	77.4
Total population	650	12	54.2

Non-working population contributes nothing to the GDP; hence, its productivity is zero.

If a win carries an award of Rs. 150 and a loss carries of Rs. 100, what is the largest difference in prize money earned among the four?

Vishal Baghel

We get the following table of earnings:

Persons	Win Total	Average
P	36 * 150 + 14 * 100 = 6800	136
Q	34 * 150 + 21 * 100 = 7200	131
R	23 * 150 + 36 * 100 = 6850	116
S	30 * 150 + 30 * 100 = 6000	100

Now we can see that the largest difference

= Maximum – Minimum = Rs. 7500 – Rs. 6800

= Rs. 700
