Correct Answer: 5836


Solution : Imports in 2012 = Rs. 1000 crore
Let the export in 2012 = Rs. $y$ crore
The ratio of imports and exports in 2012 = 1.1
⇒ $\frac{1000}{y} = 1.1$
⇒ $y=\frac{1000}{1.1} = 909.09$
Since, total exports In the years 2012 and 2013 together = Rs. 4800 crore
So, exports in 2013 = Rs. (4800 – 909.09) crores = Rs. 3890.91 crore
Let imports in 2013 = Rs. $x$ crore
The ratio of imports and exports in 2013 = 1.5
⇒ $\frac{x}{3890.91} = 1.5$
⇒ $x$ = 5836.36 Approx
Hence, the correct answer is 5836.
