उत्तर
Calculation of Average Income
Country A:
Total Income = 9500 + 10500 + 9800 + 10000 + 10200
= 50000
Average Income = `50000/5`
= ₹ 10,000
Country B:
Total Income = 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500
= 2500
Average Income = `25005/5`
= ₹ 500
No, I will not be equally satisfied with both. No, both countries are not equally developed. Country A ensures an equitable distribution of its wealth. Its residents live comfortably, with stable and equal earnings. Country B, on the other hand, suffers from widespread and severe poverty. This example demonstrates that averages conceal actual wealth distribution. Equal averages don't imply equal welfare for citizens. True development requires both equity and economic prosperity. Thus, Country A is significantly more developed and desirable.
