Current account balance in 2010

Current account balance in 2005

∴ Required ratio

Answer 2. (C)

Nothing can be said about statements 1 and 2 as the absolute values of exports and imports cannot be determined. Imports decreased during the period 2005 to 2010. Hence, only statement 3 is true.

Unemployed persons=8.9%of population=0.089*1.26 billion=100.2 million.
