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.
-
In the year 2003 – 2004, the increase in production was maximum over the previous year for :
-
- Rice
- Barley
- Other cereals
- Wheat
Correct Option: A
On the basis of given table in question ,
Production of Rice in 2003 – 2004 = 560 million tonnes
Production of Rice in 2002 – 2003 = 400 million tonnes
Increase = 560 - 400 = 160 million tonnes
| Percentage increase in Rice = | × 100 = 40% | 400 |
Production of Cereals in 2003 – 2004 = 690 million tonnes
Production of Cereals in 2002 – 2003 = 500 million tonnes
Increase = 690 - 500 = 190 million tonnes
| Percentage increase in Cereals = | × 100 = 38% | 500 |
Hence , required answer is Rice .
