The production of wheat in India by the Scientific Method is approximately what percent more than the production of wheat in Pakistan by the Conventional Method?
A88.24 ✓ Correct
B86.26
C82.14
D78.24
Correct answer: (A) 88.24
Explanation
The figure is about 88.24 percent, so the answer is 88.24.
India's scientific production is 50 times 18 percent times 32 percent, which is 2.88 lakh tonnes.
Pakistan's conventional production is 50 times 9 percent times 34 percent, which is 1.53 lakh tonnes.
The excess is 2.88 minus 1.53, which is 1.35 lakh tonnes.
As a percentage of Pakistan's figure this is 1.35 over 1.53 times 100.
That is about 88.24 percent.
So the answer is about 88.24 percent.
