What was the difference between the average exports of the three Companies in 1993 and the average exports in 1998?

A.

Rs. 15.33 crores

B.

Rs. 18.67 crores

C.

Rs. 20 crores

D.

Rs. 22.17 crores

Correct answer is C

Average exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z in 1993

= Rs. [ 1/3 x (30 + 80 + 60) ] crores = Rs. ( 170/3 ) crores

Average exports of the three Companies X, Y and Z in 1998

= Rs. [ 1/3 x (50 + 100 + 80) ] crores = Rs. ( 230/3 ) crores

Difference = Rs. [ ( 230/3 ) - ( 170/3 ) ] crores 

= Rs. ( 60/3 ) crores

= Rs. 20 crores

A.

1994

B.

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.

Analysis of the graph: From the graph it is clear that

  1. The amount of exports of Company X (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 30, 60, 40, 70, 100, 50 and 120 respectively.

  2. The amount of exports of Company Y (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 80, 40, 60, 60, 80, 100 and 140 respectively.

  3. The amount of exports of Company Z (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 60, 90,, 120, 90, 60, 80 and 100 respectively.

Average annual exports (in Rs. crore) of Company Y during the given period

= 1/7 x (80 + 40 + 60 + 60 + 80 + 100 + 140) = 560/7 = 80

Average annual exports (in Rs. crore) of Company Z during the given period

= 1/7 x (60 + 90 + 120 + 90 + 60 + 80 + 100) = ( 600/7 )

Therefore Required percentage = [ 80/( 600/7 ) x 100 ] % ≈ 93.33%.
