Data Interpretation (Level-2): Set-37

Directions for questions 1 to 4 : Study the following graph and answer the question that follow

Question 1. If the world energy council formulates a norm for high emission countries to reduce their emission each year by 12.5% for the next two years then what would be the ratio of CO₂ emission to per capita income of US, China and Japan after two years. The per capita income of China, Japan and US is expected to increase every year by 4%, 3% and 2% respectively.
A. 3.5, 3.8, 4.1
B. 3.4, 3.5, 3.
C. 2.9, 3.1, 3.4
D. None

Question 2. If US and China decide to buy carbon credits, from Spain and Ukraine to make up for their high emissions, then in how many years US and China would be able to bring down its ratio of CO2emission (million ton) to per capita income to world standard benchmark of 0.75. (per capita income of the given countries remain same, 0.5 CO₂ emissions,[million ton] is compensated by purchase of 1.25 units of carbon credit, and a country can buy carbon credit units in three lots of 15, 20 and 30 units in a single year.)
A. 3.8 years
B. 38 years
C. 30 years
D. None

Question 3. France, South Africa, Australia, Ukraine and Poland form an energy consortium which declares CO₂ emission of 350 million ton per annum as standard benchmark. The energy consortium decides to sell their carbon emission savings against the standard benchmark to high carbon emission countries. It is expected that the per capita income of each country of the energy consortium increases by 2%, 2.5% and 3.5% p.a. for the next three years respectively. The ratio of CO₂ emission to per capita income of each energy consortium country reduces by 50% and remains constant for the next three years. By selling 0.5 CO₂emissions [million ton] the energy consortium earns 1.25 carbon credits, then determine the total credits earned by energy consortium in three years.
A. 3560
B.4506
C. 5060
D. None
