Question 79

Mark the FALSE statement:

Solution

Option (A): The exports from Argentina expressed as a proportion of export from Latin America in 2001 was greater than the exports from Nigeria expressed as a proportion of exports from Africa in 2004.

The exports from Argentina expressed as a proportion of export from Latin America in 2001 = $$\dfrac{26543}{188600}$$ = 0.1407

The exports from Nigeria expressed as a proportion of exports from Africa in 2004 = $$\dfrac{31148}{229900}$$ = 0.135

Option (B): The exports from UK expressed as a proportion of exports from Europe in 2000 is lower than the exports from Argentina expressed as a proportion of exports from Latin America in 2005.

The exports from UK expressed as a proportion of exports from Europe in 2000 = $$\dfrac{285429}{2633930}$$ = 0.108

The exports from Argentina expressed as a proportion of exports from Latin America in 2005 = $$\dfrac{40351}{355000}$$ = 0.114

Option (C): The annual export growth rate of Argentina in 2004 was higher than the corresponding figure for Asia in 2005.

The annual export growth rate of Argentina in 2004 = $$\dfrac{34576-29566}{29566}\times 100$$ = 16.94 % 

The annual export growth rate of Asia in 2005 = $$\dfrac{3059000-2653100}{2653100}\times 100$$ = 15.30 % 

Option (D): The exports from South Africa in 2001 expressed as a proportion of exports from Africa is lower than the exports from China expressed as a proportion of exports from Asia in 2003.

The exports from South Africa in 2001 expressed as a proportion of exports from Africa = $$\dfrac{29258}{137400}$$ = 0.212

The exports from China expressed as a proportion of exports from Asia in 2003 = $$\dfrac{438228}{2138300}$$ = 0.204

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
