Question 56

The following pie chart shows the ratio of the amount of imports by a company to the amount of exports from that company from 2013 to 2019.


If the imports in 2016 were ₹250 million and the total exports in the years 2016 and 2017 together were ₹500 million, then the imports in 2017 were:

Solution

From the pie chart,

Ratio of imports to exports in 2016 = 1.25

Given,

Imports in 2016 = ₹250 million

Let the exports in 2016 = a

$$=$$>  $$\frac{250}{a}=1.25$$

$$=$$>  $$a=\frac{250}{1.25}$$

$$=$$>  $$a=200$$

Exports in 2016 = ₹200 million

The total exports in the years 2016 and 2017 = ₹500 million

$$=$$>  Exports in 2017 = 500 - 200 = ₹300 million

Ratio of imports to exports in 2017 = 1.4

$$=$$>  Imports in 2017 = $$1.4\times300$$ = ₹420 million

Hence, the correct answer is Option C
