Refer the below table and answer the given question
If the imports in 2012 was Rs. 1100 crores and the total exports in the years 2012 and 2013 together was Rs. 5200 crores, then the imports in 2013 was?Â
Imports in 2012 = Rs. 1100 crores
Let Exports in 2012 = Rs. $$y$$ crores
Ratio of imports and exports in 2012 = 0.7
=> $$\frac{1100}{y} = 0.7$$
=> $$y = \frac{1100}{0.7} = 1571.42$$
Total exports In the years 2012 and 2013 together = Rs. 5200 crores
=> Exports in 2013 = Rs. (5200 - 1571.42) crores = Rs. 3628.58 crores
Let imports in 2013 = Rs. $$x$$ crores
Ratio of imports and exports in 2013 = $$\frac{x}{3628.58} = 0.8$$
=> $$x = 3628.58 \times 0.8 = 2902.864 \approx 2903$$
$$\therefore$$ Imports in 2013 was Rs. 2903 crores
=> Ans - (D)
