Neco 2019 Geography Question 24

Two regions have the following data:\n\nRegion X: area \(12{,}000\\ \text{km}^{2}\), population \(3{,}600{,}000\), agricultural land \(45\\%\) of its area, GDP per capita \(\$2{,}500\), projected temperature rise by 2050 \(1.8^{\\circ}\\text{C}\).\n\nRegion Y: area \(8{,}000\\ \text{km}^{2}\), population \(2{,}400{,}000\), agricultural land \(30\\%\) of its area, GDP per capita \(\$3{,}200\), projected temperature rise by 2050 \(1.2^{\\circ}\\text{C}\).\n\nDefine a vulnerability index \(V = \frac{\text{population density}\times\%\text{agricultural land}}{\text{GDP per capita}}\). Then adjust it for climate risk by multiplying by \((1 + \frac{\text{temperature rise}}{2})\). Compute the final vulnerability index for each region and state which region is more vulnerable to climate change.
