Introduction to Data Interpretation

Direction: The following table shows the production of food grains (in million tonnes) in a State for the period 1988 to 1992. Read the table and answer the following questions.

  1. The increase in the production of other cereals (over the previous year) was minimum during the year :
    1. 1989
    2. 1990
    3. 1991
    4. 1992
Correct Option: A

As per the given above table , we see
Production of other cereals in 1988 = 350 million tonnes
Production of other cereals in 1989 = 400 million tonnes
Increase in production = 400 - 350 = 50 million tonnes

Percentage increase in 1988 =
50 × 100
= 14.28%
350

Production of other cereals in 1989 = 400 million tonnes
Production of other cereals in 1990 = 420 million tonnes
Increase in production = 420 - 400 = 20 million tonnes
Percentage increase in 1989 =
20 × 100
= 5%
400

Hence , required answer is 1989 year .
