|---|---|---|---|
| India | 18 | 32 | 68 |
| China | 22 | 70 | 30 |
| Japan | 20 | 78 | 22 |

The difference between the production of wheat by the Scientific Method and the Conventional Method in Indonesia is how many lakh tonnes?
A2.3 ✓ Correct
B2.8
C2.5
D3.1
Correct answer: (A) 2.3
Explanation
The difference is 2.3 lakh tonnes, so the answer is 2.3.
Indonesia produces 10 percent of the 50 lakh tonnes, which is 5 lakh tonnes.
Of this, the Scientific Method share is 73 percent and the Conventional share is 27 percent.
The difference in their shares is 73 minus 27, which is 46 percent.
So the difference is 46 percent of 5 lakh tonnes.
That is 5 times 0.46.
That equals 2.3 lakh tonnes.
