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) ...(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) ...(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.
