The pie charts given below depict the percentage productionbreakup of 4 crops viz maize, corn, soyabean and wheat in the world and USArespectively. Assume that the total world production of these crops in a given year is160 million tonnes.
In all the questions, 'ROW' means rest of the world other than USA.
If the ratio of production of wheat in USA and ROW is 1:6, then(approximately) what percentage of total food crop production of the ROW is accounted by wheat?
Total wheat production of the world = 15% of the total crop production of the world
= 15% (Crop production of the USA + Crop production of ROW)
=15%(USA production) + 15%(ROW crop production)Â Â ...(1)
To find the percentage of crop production of ROW accounted by wheat, we have to remove the wheat production of the USA.
Wheat production of the USA = 15% (USA production)Â Â ...(2)
Thus, the total wheat production of the ROW = 15%(ROW crop production)
Thus, wheat accounts for 15% of the total crop production of the ROW.
Hence, the answer is option D.
Alternately,
Since the wheat accounts for 15% of the total production of the World and the USA, it will also account for the 15% of the total crop production of the ROW.
