Refer the below data table and answer the following Question.
If the imports in 2012 was Rs. 900 crores and the total exports in the years 2012 and 2013 together was Rs. 2800 crores, then the imports in 2013 was?
Imports in 2012 = Rs. 900 crores
Let Exports in 2012 = Rs. $$y$$ crores
Ratio of imports and exports in 2012 = 1.1
=> $$\frac{900}{y} = 1.1$$
=> $$y = \frac{900}{1.1} = 818.18$$
Total exports In the years 2012 and 2013 together = Rs. 2800 crores
=> Exports in 2013 = Rs. (2800 - 818.18) crores = Rs. 1981.82 crores
Let imports in 2013 = Rs. $$x$$ crores
Ratio of imports and exports in 2013 = $$\frac{x}{1981.82} = 0.7$$
=> $$x = 1981.82 \times 0.7 = 1387.274 \approx 1387$$
$$\therefore$$ Imports in 2013 was Rs. 1387 crores
=> Ans - (A)
