Question : Direction: The following table shows the production of food grains (in million tonnes) in a state for the period 1999-2000 to 2003-2004. Read the table and answer the question.
In the year 2003-2004, the increase in production was maximum over the previous year for :
Option 1: Rice
Option 2: Barley
Option 3: Other cereals
Option 4: Wheat
Correct Answer: Rice
Solution : For wheat: Production of wheat in 2003–2004 = 820 million tonnes Production of wheat in 2002–2003 = 720 million tonnes Increment in production = 820 – 720 = 100 Percentage change = $\frac{100}{720}$ × 100 = 13.88% For rice: Production of rice in 2003–2004 = 560 million tonnes Production of rice in 2002–2003 = 400 million tonnes Increment in production = 560 – 400 = 160 Percentage change = $\frac{160}{400}$ × 100 = 40% For barley: Production of barley in 2003–2004 = 410 million tonnes Production of barley in 2002–2003 = 380 million tonnes Increment in production = 410 – 380 = 30 Percentage change = $\frac{30}{380}$ × 100 = 7.89% For other cereals: Production of other cereals in 2003–2004 = 690 million tonnes Production of other cereals in 2002–2003 = 500 million tonnes Increment in production = 690 – 500 = 190 Percentage change = $\frac{190}{500}$ × 100 = 38% The percentage increase in rice is the maximum. Hence, the correct answer is Rice.
