Question 64
In 2020, the production of wheat increased over 2019 by the same percentage as in
2018 over its preceding year. If 16.5% of the production of wheat in 2020 was exported,
then the amount of wheat left for domestic consumption (in lakh tonnes) was
approximately:
Solution
Percentage by which wheat production increased in 2018 over 2017 = $$\frac{400-330}{330}\times\ 100\ =\ 21.21\%$$.
Production in 2020 = (1 + 21.21%)*Production in 2019 = 1.2121*360 = 436.36.
16.5% of this production is exported which means that 83.5% was left for domestic use i.e. 0.835*436.36 = 364.36 $$\approx\ $$ 364.4
