Table shows the percentage of wheat production in seven countries and the Scientific vs Conventional method shares. Total production = 50 lakh tonnes.
| Country | Production (%) | Scientific (%) | Conventional (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| India | 18 | 32 | 68 |
| China | 22 | 70 | 30 |
| Japan | 20 | 78 | 22 |
| Sri Lanka | 13 | 60 | 40 |
| Indonesia | 10 | 73 | 27 |
| Pakistan | 9 | 66 | 34 |
| Bangladesh | 8 | 20 | 80 |
The production of wheat in Sri Lanka by the Conventional Method is approximately how many times the production of wheat in India by the Scientific Method?
A1.5
B0.9 ✓ Correct
C2.1
D1.2
Correct answer: (B) 0.9
Explanation
It is about 0.9 times, so the answer is 0.9.
Sri Lanka's conventional production is 50 times 13 percent times 40 percent, which is 2.6 lakh tonnes.
India's scientific production is 50 times 18 percent times 32 percent, which is 2.88 lakh tonnes.
So the multiple is 2.6 divided by 2.88.
That is about 0.9.
So the Sri Lanka conventional figure is about 0.9 times the India scientific figure.
So the answer is 0.9.
