    Are there any countries which do not obey the general rule? - ProProfs

    Are there any countries which do not obey the general rule?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Bangladesh is exceptional. It is the only country where there seems little/no difference between how long men and women live.

    Always look to see if there are any exceptions.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 
    What is the average life expectancy approximately? - ProProfs

    What is the average life expectancy approximately?

    • 50

    • 60

    • 70

    • 73

    • 80

    Correct Answer
    A. 73
    Explanation
    While life expectancy is different in all the countries, it is also possible to say that it is broadly similar too. Looking at the chart it should be clear that the average life expectancy is slightly over 70 and that most of the countries fall within that range.

    This is another obvious point that needs to be stated.
