Study the following line graph and answer the questions.
Exports from Three Companies Over the Years (in Rs. crore)
In which year was the difference between the exports from Companies X and Y the minimum?
A.
1994
B.
1995
C.
1996
D.
1997
Correct answer is C
The difference between the exports from the Companies X and Y during the various years are:
In 1993 = Rs. (80 - 30) crores = Rs. 50 crores.
In 1994 = Rs. (60 - 40) crores = Rs. 20 crores.
In 1995 = Rs. (60 - 40) crores = Rs. 20 crores.
In 1996 = Rs. (70 - 60) crores = Rs. 10 crores.
In 1997 = Rs. (100 - 80) crores = Rs. 20 crores.
In 1998 = Rs. (100 - 50) crores = Rs. 50 crores.
In 1999 = Rs. (140 - 120) crores = Rs. 20 crores.
Clearly, the difference is minimum in the year 1996.
