foodgrains exported, from 2016 to 2020. Study the graph and answer the questions that follow.
The domestic consumption of rice in 2019 was what percentage of the average production of wheat (per year) in 2017, 2018 and 2020?
Domestic consumption of rice in 2019: $$0.52\times\ 300\ =\ 156$$ million tonnes.
Average production of wheat in 2017, 2018 and 2020 is:
$$\frac{\left(180+240+360\right)}{3}=\ \frac{780}{3}=260$$ million tonnes.
Domestic consumption of rice in 2019 as a percentage of average production of wheat in 2017, 2018 and 2020 is $$\frac{156}{260}=0.6$$;
Which is equivalent to 60%
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
