Correct Answer: 2018 - 19
Solution :
Import in 2015 - 16 = 738
Export in 2015 - 2016 = 825
Difference between import and export in 2015 - 16 = 87
Import in 2016 - 17 = 1200
Export in 2015 - 2016 = 1014
Difference between import and export in 2016 - 17 = 186
Import in 2017 - 18 = 1600
Export in 2017 - 2018 = 1240
Difference between import and export in 2017 - 18 = 360
Import in 2018 - 19 = 1537
Export in 2018 - 2019 = 1522
Difference between import and export in 2018 - 19 = 15
Import in 2019 - 20 = 1310
Export in 2019 - 2020 = 1650
Difference between import and export in 2015 - 16 = 340
So, the Year 2018-19 has the minimum required difference.
Hence, the correct answer is 2018 - 19.
