Given below is the data about Domestic Investment (DI) and Foreign Investment (FI) in 9 different sectors over 5 year period.
(In Rs. Crores)

Note: DI = Domestic Investment; FI = Foreign Investment

Question 34

Absolute different between the Total DI and Total FI is highest for which sector?

Solution

Absolute difference between total DI and total FI = absolute( Total DI - Total FI)

For Basic Materials, absolute( Total DI - Total FI) = |(1500+1500+2500+2000+2500)-(800+1300+1400+900+800)| = 10000-5200 = 4800

For Communication Services = |(2000+1200+1600+1000+500)-(1400+1000+1100+300+1200)| = |6300-5000| = 1300

For Consumer Cyclical = |(1000+1200+1100+500+900)-(1500+1500+3000+700+1900)| = |4700-8600| = 3900

For Consumer defensive = |(1300+700+1500+2000+1800)-(1000+1600+800+500+1600)| = |7300-5500| = 1800

For Energy =|(800+500+700+600+1100)-(1200+1400+2500+1000+500)| = |3700-6600| = 2900

For Financial Services =|(1800+400+1200+1000+700)-(500+2000+1600+1500+1400)| = |5100-7000| = 1900

For Healthcare = |(2000+600+400+1000+3500)-(3000+3000+6000+1500+600)| = |7500-14100|= 6600

For Real estate = |(500+1000+4000+6000+2000)-(2000+1500+3000+1500+2100)| = |13500-10100| = 3400

For Technology = |(1500+1000+1500+1200+3000)-(2500+2800+5000+2000+4000)| = |8200- 16300|=8100

Technology has highest absolute difference between Total DI and Total FI.
