Question : Direction: The following table shows the production of food grains (in million tonnes) in a state for the period 1999-2000 to 2003-2004. Read the table and answer the question.
Production (in million tonnes) | ||||
Year | Wheat | Rice | Barley | Other cereals |
1999-2000 | 680 | 270 | 250 | 450 |
2000-2001 | 800 | 420 | 440 | 300 |
2001-2002 | 680 | 350 | 320 | 460 |
2002-2003 | 720 | 400 | 380 | 500 |
2003-2004 | 820 | 560 | 410 | 690 |
In the year 2003-2004, the increase in production was maximum over the previous year for :
Option 1: Rice
Option 2: Barley
Option 3: Other cereals
Option 4: Wheat
Correct Answer: Rice
Solution :
For wheat:
Production of wheat in 2003–2004 = 820 million tonnes
Production of wheat in 2002–2003 = 720 million tonnes
Increment in production = 820 – 720 = 100
Percentage change = $\frac{100}{720}$ × 100 = 13.88%
For rice:
Production of rice in 2003–2004 = 560 million tonnes
Production of rice in 2002–2003 = 400 million tonnes
Increment in production = 560 – 400 = 160
Percentage change = $\frac{160}{400}$ × 100 = 40%
For barley:
Production of barley in 2003–2004 = 410 million tonnes
Production of barley in 2002–2003 = 380 million tonnes
Increment in production = 410 – 380 = 30
Percentage change = $\frac{30}{380}$ × 100 = 7.89%
For other cereals:
Production of other cereals in 2003–2004 = 690 million tonnes
Production of other cereals in 2002–2003 = 500 million tonnes
Increment in production = 690 – 500 = 190
Percentage change = $\frac{190}{500}$ × 100 = 38%
The percentage increase in rice is the maximum.
Hence, the correct answer is Rice.
