Economics QUESTION #1694

Question 4908

Among the following, which one is categorically NOT a component of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) calculated by the expenditure approach?

Consumption expenditure by households
Gross private domestic investment by firms
Government purchases of goods and services
The prevailing rate of unemployment✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

The expenditure approach to GDP is: $\text{GDP} = C + I + G + (X - M)$, where $C$ = household consumption, $I$ = gross private investment, $G$ = government purchases, and $(X-M)$ = net exports. The rate of unemployment is a labour market indicator and is not a component of GDP. It may be correlated with GDP (via Okun's Law) but is not included in its calculation.

Mathematics QUESTION #7463

Question 4920

If the angles of elevation of the top of a tower from three collinear points A, B and C, on a line leading to the foot of the tower, are 30°, 45° and 60° respectively, then the ratio AB : BC is:

$\sqrt{3}:1$✔️
$\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2}$
$1:\sqrt{3}$
2:03

Correct Answer Logic:

Let the height of tower be $h$ and distances from tower base be $d_A, d_B, d_C$ for points A, B, C respectively. From angles: $\tan(30°) = \frac{h}{d_A}$ gives $d_A = h\sqrt{3}$; $\tan(45°) = \frac{h}{d_B}$ gives $d_B = h$; $\tan(60°) = \frac{h}{d_C}$ gives $d_C = \frac{h}{\sqrt{3}}$. Since points are collinear in order A, B, C from farthest to nearest: $AB = d_A - d_B = h\sqrt{3} - h = h(\sqrt{3}-1)$ and $BC = d_B - d_C = h - \frac{h}{\sqrt{3}} = h(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}) = h\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}}$. Ratio: $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{h(\sqrt{3}-1)}{h\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}}} = \sqrt{3}$. Therefore AB:BC = $\sqrt{3}:1$.
