Question 1647 : 

For how many countries among Country 1 through Country 8 will the GDP per capita in 2027 be lower than
that in 2024?


Video Explanation


Explanatory Answer

We are asked to find the number of countries where the GDP per capita is lower in 2027 than it was in 2024.
For the GDP per capita to be lower in the consequent years, the population growth rate has to exceed the GDP
growth rate, since GDP per capita is nothing but GDP divided by the population. That means if the population
growth rate is lesser than that of the GDP growth rate, the GDP per capita will only increase.
We can clearly see that none of the following countries fall in the scenario where GDP growth rate is lesser than
that of the population growth rate. Countries 1, 2 and 7 have actually decreasing population rates thereby
definitely increasing the GDP per capita.
The rest of the countries have GDP growth rates larger than the population growth rates.
Hence, we can conclude that, none of the countries will have a smaller GDP per capita in 2027 when compared
to 2024.
