If two countries have the same per capita income but country A has a higher HDI index than B, this means: a) Country B has better adult literacy rate and/or higher life expectancy at birth than country A. b) Country A has higher life expectancy at birth but not a higher adult literacy rate than country B. c) Country A has higher adult literacy rate and /or higher life expectancy at birth than country B. d) Country A has higher adult literacy rate but not a higher life expectancy at birth than country B.

Explanation / Answer

Option C

Explanation: The Human Development Index (HDI) is a statistical composite index which ranks a country on human development on the basis of life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators. Therefore, when two countries have the same per capita income but country A has a higher HDI than country B, country A has a higher adult literacy rate and/or higher life expectancy at birth than country B.
