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.
-
During the period 1999 - 2000 to 2003 – 2004, x percent of the total production is production of wheat. The value of x is about :
-
- 12.6
- 37.4
- 37.8
- 20.2
Correct Option: B
As per the given above table , we see
Total production :
Wheat ⇒ 3700 million tonnes
Rice ⇒ 2000 million tonnes
Barley ⇒ 1800 million tonnes
Other cereals ⇒ 2400 million tonnes
Total productions of food- grains = 3700 + 2000 + 1800 + 2400 = 9900 million tonnes
According to question ,
x% of the total production = Production of wheat
⇒ x% × 9900 = 3700
| ∴ x = | × 100 = 37.4 | 9900 |
