Direction: Read the following graph and answer questions
-
The ratio of the number of years, in which the trade deficit is above the average deficit, to those years in which the trade deficit is below the average deficit, is
-
- 3 : 5
- 5 : 3
- 4 : 4
- 3 : 4
Correct Option: A
On the basis of given bar graph in question ,
Sum of deficit from years 1987 to 1995 = 2200 + 3100 + 2100 + 2800 + 2600 + 3600 + 4200 + 2600 = 23200 millions
Total number of years = 8
| Average deficit = | = 2900 million | 8 |
∴ Required ratio = Number of years in which the trade deficit is above the average deficit : Number of years in which the trade deficit is below the average deficit
∴ Required ratio = 3 : 5
