Are Indians overestimating the country’s GDP growth rate?
The reality of the world is this: If you call yourself a democracy, chances are, western bankers have some control in your economy. They will do everything to praise India, move you up 30 places in the “ease of doing business” department, change your GDP numbers a bit, because their interest, investments are attached to you.The same institutions have been wrong about China for the past 30 years, because China refuses to be subservient to them, and has an independent foreign policy. Are they credible? Of course not. Look at the following statement: “India is the fastest growing major economy”. See anything? The word “major”. It excludes all smaller countries that grow at 10% per year due to that single word. Who is bigger than India in this world? Only one by population, China. And they must mean “growth rate”. Because US grows at 3%, and that is more than half a trillion, China grows at 6.7%, and that is more than 800 billion dollars. India at 7% is around 140 billion dollars. The gap is quite large. The fastest growing economy, major or not, is still China. No country in human history grew that fast.Do Indians overestimate its growth? In my experience talking to people, YES. To the point it is making mistakes in foreign policy. People will act and talk a certain way if he/she thinks he/she is the biggest, or thinks he/she has an advantage over others. And trust me, many see Indians around the world as overdoing it. I understand Indians must feel this: If China goes around doing that, why can’t we? After all, we are the fastest growing major economy! If Africans do that to India, would India not feel the same? But the reality is, look it up, Africa, if it were a country, is today a 3.3 trillion economy, 1 trillion ahead of India. They don’t go around like China pushing their weight around, because they know where they are. They are not buying 3 aircraft carriers.I apologize if it makes you feel bad because I know Indians are emotional people, but the truth is the truth. It will serve India much better if you dealt with the world according to your size and weight. Remember , Africa has a billion people too and their economy as a whole is better than India. And the EU, US, China, Russia are still there, with more say in many fields. And the middle east, who have oil, and thus have some power and say. People will respect India much more if India knows it's place in the world better.
In a group of 50 students, 31 are taking French, 17 are taking Spanish, and 10 are taking neither French nor Spanish. How many students are taking both French and Spanish?
total persons:50speaking French:31speaking spanish:17neither speaking any languages:10then,number of persons speaking both languages:50—10=40then,n(French U Spanish)=31+17—n(speaking both the languages)40=31+17—nn=48—40n=8
There are 40 students in a class. 20 students take chemistry, 25 take French, and 8 take both. How many students take none of these classes?
This problem can be solved using Set Concept and Venn diagram.First of all, consider a rectangular (T) that represents the total number of students (40).Now consider, two circle C and F referring the students who took Chemistry (20) and French (25) respectively.Those 2 circles will intersect and create a common area that is the number of students who took Both Classes (8)Now, think about it.This 2 circles are all about students who took: Only Chemistry, Only French and Both of them.Let’s find there corresponding number.As 8 students took both of them, if you deduct this number from C (Chemistry), you will get the students who took Only Chemistry.Similarly, deducting ‘8’ from F will give you the students who took Only French.Then,Only Chemistry = 20–8 = 12Only French = 25 - 8 = 17Both of them = 8So, total number of students who took at least one of these two classes becomes (12+17+8) or 37Now, out of these two circles another region remains from the total area, T (40). This remaining area (N) is the number of students who didn’t take any of these classes.N = T - (Number of students who took at least one class)or, N = (40 - 37) = 3So, 3 students took none of these two classes.
Two limitations of the crude birth rate as a measure of a countries fertility?
1. It doesn't take demographics into account. Children per thousand people per year doesn't tell you much about the future unless you know how many women of child-bearing age there are, etc. (i.e. a high birthrate could be due to a few women having lots of kids, with most of the population being older (so the trend may continue) or it could be due to a large number of women each having very few kids (think U.S. baby boom)) 2. It doesn't take social and economic factors into account. If the state of public health is changing, a transition to an urban population, the per capita wealth, or the level of education, any simple extrapolation of current data will fail, as birth rate is very sensitive to these factors.
