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.
USA produces 20 percent lesser corn than ROW, find the production ofsoyabean in USA?
The total world's corn production is 20% of 160 million tonnes, which is 32 million tonnes.Â
We are told that USA = 0.8ROW (or ROW corn =1.25 USA corn)Â in terms of corn production.Â
USA corn + ROW corn = 32 million tonnes
2.25 USA corn = 32 million tonnes
USA corn = 14.22 million tonnes
This would give us the total USA production as 71.1 million tonnes.Â
Giving the soyabean production as 17.75 million tonnes.Â
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.Â
