1)

What was the percentage increase in imports from 2007 to 2008?


A) 72%

B) 56%

C) 28%

D) None of these

E) Data inadequate

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

The graph gives only the ratio of the value of imports and that of exports. In order to find the percentage increase in imports from 2007 to 2008, we require the value of import or that of export during these years. So, we cannot find the percentage increase in imports. Hence, the data is inadequate to answer the question.
