In a country that enacted a littering fine, 1,200 offences were recorded in the first year. Of these, 720 occurred in urban areas (population 3,000,000) and 480 in rural areas (population 2,000,000). Calculate the per‑capita offence rate for each area using \( \frac{720}{3,000,000} \) and \( \frac{480}{2,000,000} \). Which area has the higher rate, and what does this imply about the equal application of the rule of law?

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Both areas have the same per‑capita rate of 0.00024 (0.024 %), indicating equal application of the law.
B. Urban area has a higher per‑capita rate of 0.00030 (0.030 %), indicating unequal application of the law.
C. Rural area has a higher per‑capita rate of 0.00020 (0.020 %), implying the rule of law is not applied equally.
D. Both areas have a per‑capita rate of 0.00048 (0.048 %), suggesting the law is applied more strictly overall.
