Question 73

If in 1988, the sum of the food and fertilizer production was 170 million tonnes, the value of food production must have been (approximately, in million tonnes) .

Solution

From the graph, in the year 1988, the ratio of food production to fertilizer production is 5:3.5 i.e 10:7
Let the food production be 10X and the fertilizer production be 7X

Hence, the total is 10X+7X = 17X which equals 170
So, X = 10 and the total food production equals 10*10 = 100
