In the following multiple graphs production of wheat (in quintals) by three states – Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab-have been given. Study the following graphs carefully to answer the questions.
If the production of wheat by Madhya Pradesh in the years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007 increase by 30%, 40%, 45% and 40% respectively, what will be the overall percentage increase in the production of wheat in the state in the given years ?
Increase in wheat production in Madhya Pradesh in the year :
2003 = $$\frac{130}{100}$$ * 2900 = 3510
2004 = $$\frac{140}{100}$$ * 2900 = 4060
2005 = $$\frac{145}{100}$$ * 3000 = 4350
2007 = $$\frac{140}{100}$$ * 2900 = 4060
=> Total new production = 2400 + 3300 + 3510 + 4060 + 4350 +2400 + 4060 = 24080
Total earlier production = 2400 + 3300 + 2900 + 2900 + 3000 + 2400 + 2900 = 19700
=> Increase = 24080 - 19700 = 4380
$$\therefore$$ % increase = $$\frac{4380}{19700}$$ * 100 = 22%
