3. The chart below shows the expenditure of two countries X and Y on consumer goods in 2020 in US million dollars. Summarise and write an analytical paragraph highlighting main features and necessary details. Compare where relevant. Country X [Country Y Expenditure in Million Dollars a NN © © PB PB Ronan ss 883883883888 ° Computers Consumer Goods Ans. The Bar chart given above illustrates the money spent by two countries X and Y on consumer goods like cars, computers, cameras and washing machines in 2020. The expenditure is in US dollars. The general trend of both the countries is not uniform. So far as the expenditure on cars is concerned, X, spent 400 million dollars while Y spent a slightly higher amount of 450 millions. In the expenditure on computers, the same trend is followed. Y spent 50 million dollars more on the purchase of computers. However, this trend was reversed in their expenditure on cameras. Here, it is X that spends 50 million more than Y. The expenditure on washing machines repeated the same pattern. X spent 500 million dollars while Y spent 450 millions, 50 millions less than X. One noticeable thing about the expenditure of X and Y is that on all the four consumer goods, their difference is constant, i.e. 50 million dollars. It can be safely concluded that the race of expenditure on consumer goods of two countries X and Y is rather close without any dramatic rises or falls. 3. The following pie chart represents the distribution of the overseas tourists and their age profile respectively. Study the chart carefully and write an analytical paragraph giving the general trends and other necessary details. Don’ forget to compare the segments where relevant. Ans. The given pie graph illustrates the distribution of the tourists going abroad and their age profile respectively. The general trend that emerges out of the survey is that the younger the people, the lesser is the percentage of their overseas tours. The youngest age group represented on the graph has the lowest percentage, just at modest 8 so far as their overseas tours are concerned. As we move on the ladder of age-groups, the percentage of overseas ventures show an appreciable change. The next age group of 25-30 years, show a jump in the percentage taking it to 12. However, it can be noticed that the middle-aged persons between 30 to 45 years love to go overseas for tours as their data is ten percent more than the group 1 and 2 combined together. Of the total overseag tourists, they constitute thirty percent. The biggest percentage of overseas tourists are constituted by the 4th age-group which shows that people of 45+ years of age love to go overseas . Every second tourist going overseas falls in the age group of above 45 years. Hence, it can be safely concluded that people above 45 years seem to have more leisure time and money to enjoy overseas tours. Comparatively, younger groups don’t seem to have either.

Overall, it can be seen that the quality of life in the USA is far higher than the other four countries. The USA, which is a developed country, had the highest GNP at 13,160 dollars per head. It also has a much higher daily calorie of 3653 calories, and life expectancy of 74, and the lowest rate of infant mortality at just 12 of 1000 children born. In contrast, Bangladesh scores the least in all the 4 parameters, with GNP at 140, calorie intake as low as 1877, a life expectancy of 40 and an infant mortality of 132 deaths per 1000 children born. The other countries Bolivia, Egypt and Indonesia, have GNP’s of 570.690 and 580, calorie intake at the rates of 2086, 2950 and 2296, and their life expectancy at birth stands 50, 56 and 49. While Indonesia and Egypt report an infant mortality of 87 and 97 per 1000 children, Bolivia, is closer to Bangladesh in this particular indicator, reporting an infant mortality of around 124 per 1000 children born. In conclusion, the statistic shows the extreme situations in the quality of life in developed, underdeveloped and developing countries.
