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.
-
In 1991, the increase in production over the previous year was maximum for :
-
- Wheat
- Rice
- Maize
- Other Cereals
Correct Option: C
On the basis of given table in question ,
Production of wheat in 1990 = 560 million tonnes
Production of wheat in 1991 = 680 million tonnes
Increase in production = 680 - 560 = 120 million tonnes
| Percentage increase = | = 21.42% | 560 |
Production of rice in 1990 = 240 million tonnes
Production of rice in 1991 = 300 million tonnes
Increase in production = 300 - 240 = 60 million tonnes
| Percentage increase = | = 25% | 240 |
Production of maize in 1990 = 228 million tonnes
Production of maize in 1991 = 380 million tonnes
Increase in production = 380 - 228 = 52 million tonnes
| Percentage increase = | = 22.80% | 228 |
From above it is clear that increase in production for maize is maximum.
