Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D

Here's how to solve the problem:

  1. Identify the relevant data:

    • GDP = N60 billion
    • Oil sector contribution = 25% of GDP
    • Manufacturing sector contribution = 7% of GDP
  2. Calculate the contribution of each sector:

    • Oil sector contribution = 25/100 * N60 billion = N15 billion
    • Manufacturing sector contribution = 7/100 * N60 billion = N4.2 billion
  3. Find the difference:

    • Difference = Oil sector contribution - Manufacturing sector contribution
    • Difference = N15 billion - N3.3 billion = N11.7 billion
