For which of the region, the 'GNI per capita' is closest to that of 'GNI per capita' of world?
Explanation:
GNI per capita = GNI/Population
GNI of world= sum of GNI of all the regions
23538 + 20738 + 5282 + 3220 + 20561 + 3118 + 1543 = 78000 billion
Population of world = Sum of population of all the regions
= 2314 + 915.5 + 644 + 444 + 363 + 1788 + 1061 = 7529.5 million
∴ GNI per capita of world
= (78000 × 1000)/7529.5 = 10359.25
Now, find GNI per capita for each region in the options.
East Asia and Pacific:
(23538 × 1000)/2314 = 10171.99
Europe and Central Asia:
(20738 × 1000)/915.5 = 22652.10
Latin America and Caribbean:
(5282 × 1000)/644 = 8201.86
North America: (20561 × 1000)/363 = 56641.87
Hence, the GNI of East Asia and Pacific is closest to that of the world.
Hence, option (a).
