Foodgrain Production in a Country in 1999 (in million tons)
-
What was the proportion of rice production to wheat production in the country?
-
- 1 : 1
- 0.8 : 1
- 1.2 : 1
- 2 : 1
Correct Option: C
Total production of rice
= 45 + 48 + 59 + 41 + 37 + 68 + 57 + 38
= 393 million tons
Total production of wheat
= 103 + 86 +32 + 37 + 22 + 15 + 8 + 28
= 331 million tons
Required proportion = Total production of rice : Total production of wheat
= 393 : 331 ≈ 1.2 : 1.
