Refer the below data table and answer the following question.
If the imports In 2012 was Rs. 1500 crores and the total exports In the years 2012 and 2013 together was Rs. 2000 crores, then the Imports In 2013 was?Â
Imports in 2012 = Rs. 1500 crores
Let Exports in 2012 = Rs. $$y$$ crores
Ratio of imports and exports in 2012 = 1.1
=> $$\frac{1500}{y} = 1.1$$
=> $$y = \frac{1500}{1.1} = 1363.63$$
Total exports In the years 2012 and 2013 together = Rs. 2000 crores
=> Exports in 2013 = Rs. (2000 - 1363.63) crores = Rs 636.37 crores
Let imports in 2013 = Rs. $$x$$ crores
Ratio of imports and exports in 2013 = $$\frac{x}{636.37} = 0.9$$
=> $$x = 636.37 \times 0.9 = 572.733 \approx 573$$
$$\therefore$$ Imports in 2013 was Rs. 573 crores
=> Ans - (A)
