The table given below shows the ratio of exports and imports of a country for 5 years.

Total trade = exports + imports

Question 98

The total trade for Year 2 and Year 4 is same. If exports of Year 4 are 315 crore dollars, then what are the imports (in crore dollars) of Year 2?

Solution

Let trade of year 4 = 13x

=> Exports of year 4 = $$\frac{5}{(5+8)}\times13x=5x$$

According to ques, => $$5x=315$$

=> $$x=\frac{315}{5}=63$$

Also, trade of year 2 = trade of year 4 = $$13\times63=819$$

$$\therefore$$ Imports of year 2 = $$\frac{7}{(11+7)}\times819$$

= $$\frac{7}{2}\times91=318.5$$

=> Ans - (D)
