Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The data given does not provide any information about the total GDP of countries C and D. However, we can compare their per capita GDP by dividing their GDP by their population. Since we do not have the population data, we cannot calculate the exact values. Therefore, we cannot say exactly how many times the per capita GDP of country C is higher than that of country D. However, we can infer from the options given that the ratio is somewhere between 2 and 10. Among the options given, only C satisfies this condition. Therefore, the answer is C, i.e., 4.
