The table given below represents the production and sales of wheat in 4 different countries A, B, C and D over a period of 4 years. At the end of year 2010 A, B, C and D had a stock of 5200, 3500, 7835 and 1956 (in '000 quintals) of wheat respectively. For any given year, the stock of wheat is calculated as: Stock of year (n + 1) = stock at end of year (n) + production in year (n + 1) — sales in year (n + 1) And, Surplus of year (n) = production in year (n) — sales in year (n) 


Question 99

What is the difference (in '000 quintals) in average production and average sales respectively of country C in the given four years?

Solution

Total production of country C over the 4 years (in '000 quintals) = 2038+1821+1937+3014 = 8810

Total sales of country C over the 4 years (in '000 quintals) = 2247+2018+2563+2988 = 9816

=> Surplus of country C (in '000 quintals) = 8810 - 9816 = -1006

$$\therefore$$ Average difference = $$\frac{-1006}{4}=-251.5$$

=> Ans - (A)
