    Given : - Average per hectare yield of rice = 30 tonnes
    Total rice production = 393 lakh tonnes

    Required area =
    Total rice production
    Average per hectare yield of rice


    Correct Option: C

    Given : - Average per hectare yield of rice = 30 tonnes
    Total rice production = 393 lakh tonnes

    Required area =
    Total rice production
    Average per hectare yield of rice

    ∴ Required area =
    393
    		lakh hectares
    30

    Required area = 13.1 = 13 lakh hectares

  1. State P alone accounted for approximately what percentage of wheat production in the country?

    According to given table, we have
    Wheat production in State P = 103 lakh tonnes
    Total wheat production in State P = 331 lakh tonnes

    Required percentage =
    Wheat production in State P
    		 × 100
    Total wheat production in State P

    Correct Option: D

    According to given table, we have
    Wheat production in State P = 103 lakh tonnes
    Total wheat production in State P = 331 lakh tonnes

    Required percentage =
    Wheat production in State P
    		 × 100
    Total wheat production in State P

    Required percentage =
    103
    		× 100 ≡ 31.11% ≡ 30%

  1. What was the proportion of rice production to wheat production in the country?








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Total rice Production = 45 + 48 + 59 + 41 + 37 + 68 + 57 + 38 = 393 lakh tonnes
    Total wheat production = 103 + 86 + 32 + 37 + 22 + 15 + 8 + 28 = 331 lakh tonnes
    ∴ Required ratio = Total rice Production : Total wheat production

    Correct Option: C

    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Total rice Production = 45 + 48 + 59 + 41 + 37 + 68 + 57 + 38 = 393 lakh tonnes
    Total wheat production = 103 + 86 + 32 + 37 + 22 + 15 + 8 + 28 = 331 lakh tonnes
    ∴ Required ratio = Total rice Production : Total wheat production
    ∴ Required ratio = 393 : 331 = 1.2 : 1
