If the imports of the company in 2006 be  272 crores, the exports from the company in the same year was:


A) 370 crores

B) 320 crores

C) 280 crores

D) 275 crores

E) 264 crores

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

From the graph, we find that the ratio of the value of import to the value of export in 2006 is 0.85.

Let the value of export in 2006 be x crores. Then

272x = 0.85

x=2720.85 = 320 crores

Hence the value of wxports in 2006 320 crores.
