Direction: The following table shows the productions of food- grains (in million tons) in a state for the period 1999 - 2000 to 2003 - 2004. Read the table and answer the questions.
-
The difference of average production of rice and the average production of barley over the years is (in million tonnes) :
-
- 50
- 60
- 80
- 40
Correct Option: D
According to given table, we have
Total production of Rice in given years = 270 + 420 + 350 + 400 + 560 = 2000
Number of given years = 5
Total production of barley in given years = 250 + 440 + 320 + 380 + 410 = 1800
Number of given years = 5
| Required difference = | - | = 400 – 360 | 5 | 5 |
Required difference = 40 million tonnes
