Question

Human Development Index (HDI) is constructed with reference to

Life expectancy at birth, real GDP per capita, gross enrolment ratio, adult literacy rate.
Life expectancy at birth, real GDP per capita, combined gross enrolment ratio, adult literacy rate.
Life expectancy, GDP per capita, infant mortality rate, literacy rate.
GDP per capita, infant mortality rate, literacy rate

Codes:

Options:

A . 1 and 3

B . 1 and 2

C . 3 only

D . 1, 2 and 4

Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)HDI is the geometric mean of (i) Life Expectancy Index (LEI), Education Index (EI) and Income Index (II)HDI =$↖3√{LEI × EI × II}$LEI =$\text"Life Expectancy - 20"/{82.3 - 20}$(where 20 and 82.3 are the minimum and maximum values of expectancy of life at birth in years).EI = $√{MYSLEYSI - 0}/{0.951 - 0}$ where MYSI (Mean Years of Schooling Index)=${MYS - 0}/{13.2 - 0}$EYSI (Expected Years of Schooling Index) = ${EYS - 0}/{20.6 - 0}$II = $\text"Log Per Capita GNI - log 100"/\text"log(107721) - log100"$(100 and 107721 are the minimum and maximum values of Per Capita Gross National Income in US $).
