Correct Answer: Neither I nor II


Solution : According to the question
Production by A in Y1 = 800
Production by B in Y2 = 1000
⇒ ($\frac{800-1000}{1000}$) × 100 = ($\frac{−200}{1000}$) × 100 = −20
So, the statement I is not correct.
Total production for A in Y3 and Y4
= 700 + 1200 = 1900
Total production for B in Y5 and Y6
= 300 + 500 = 800
So, (total production for A in Y3 and Y4) : (total production for B in Y5 and Y6) = 19 : 8
So, the statement II is not correct.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Neither I nor II'.
