The question asks to identify the country with the highest male to female population ratio in 2019 among the given options. This requires knowledge of demographic data, specifically sex ratios, for the mentioned countries.
D) Qatar
In 2019, Qatar had an exceptionally high male-to-female population ratio, significantly higher than any other country globally. This is primarily due to its large population of male expatriate workers, predominantly in the construction and oil & gas sectors, who come to the country for employment without their families. The ratio was estimated to be around 247 males per 100 females, making it the highest in the world.

The cost price of 10 articles is equal to the selling price of 9 articles. Find the percentage profit.
121 \( \frac{1}{9} \) %
11 \( \frac{1}{9} \) %
13 \( \frac{1}{9} \) %
10 \( \frac{1}{9} \) %
This problem involves calculating percentage profit based on a given relationship between the cost price (CP) and selling price (SP) of articles. We will set up an equation based on the given condition and then use the standard formula for percentage profit.
Let the Cost Price of one article be \( \text{CP} \) and the Selling Price of one article be \( \text{SP} \).
According to the problem statement, the cost price of 10 articles is equal to the selling price of 9 articles. We can write this as an equation:
\[ 10 \times \text{CP} = 9 \times \text{SP} \]From this equation, we can find the ratio of SP to CP:
\[ \frac{\text{SP}}{\text{CP}} = \frac{10}{9} \]This implies that if \( \text{CP} = 9x \), then \( \text{SP} = 10x \) for some value \( x \). For simplicity, we can assume \( \text{CP} = 9 \) units and \( \text{SP} = 10 \) units.
Since \( \text{SP} > \text{CP} \), there is a profit. The profit is calculated as:
\[ \text{Profit} = \text{SP} - \text{CP} \]\[ \text{Profit} = 10 - 9 = 1 \text{ unit} \]The percentage profit is calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Percentage Profit} = \left( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}} \right) \times 100\% \]Substitute the values:
\[ \text{Percentage Profit} = \left( \frac{1}{9} \right) \times 100\% \]\[ \text{Percentage Profit} = \frac{100}{9}\% \]Convert the improper fraction to a mixed fraction:
\[ \frac{100}{9} = 11 \text{ with a remainder of } 1 \]\[ \text{Percentage Profit} = 11 \frac{1}{9}\% \]B) 11 \( \frac{1}{9} \) % is the correct percentage profit calculated.
To find the area of a circle, we first need to determine its radius. The problem provides the circumference of the circle. We can use the formula for the circumference of a circle to find the radius, and then use the radius to calculate the area.
The circumference \(C\) of a circle with radius \(r\) is given by:
\[ C = 2 \pi r \]We are given that the circumference \(C = 30\pi\) cm. Substitute this value into the formula:
\[ 30\pi = 2 \pi r \]Divide both sides by \(2\pi\):
\[ r = \frac{30\pi}{2\pi} \]\[ r = 15 \text{ cm} \]The area \(A\) of a circle with radius \(r\) is given by:
\[ A = \pi r^2 \]Using \(r = 15\) cm:
\[ A = \pi (15)^2 \]\[ A = \pi (225) \]\[ A = 225\pi \text{ cm}^2 \]B) 225 π — The radius is 15 cm, and the area is \(\pi r^2 = \pi (15)^2 = 225\pi\) cm\(^2\).
