If the imports in 2012 was Rs. 1000 crores and the total exports in the years 2012 and 2013 together was Rs. 3600 crores, then the imports in 2013 was?Â
Imports in 2012 = Rs. 1000 crores
Let Exports in 2012 = Rs. $$y$$ crores
Ratio of imports and exports in 2012 = 1.2
=> $$\frac{1000}{y} = 0.7$$
=> $$y = \frac{1000}{1.2} = 833.33$$
Total exports In the years 2012 and 2013 together = Rs. 3600 crores
=> Exports in 2013 = Rs. (3600 - 833.33) crores = Rs 2766.67 crores
Let imports in 2013 = Rs. $$x$$ crores
Ratio of imports and exports in 2013 = $$\frac{x}{2766.67} = 0.8$$
=> $$x = 2766.67 \times 0.8 = 2213.336 \approx 2213$$
$$\therefore$$ Imports in 2013 was Rs. 2213 crores
=> Ans - (B)
