The following table gives the quantities of apples (in tonnes) arriving at New Delhi market from various states in a particular year. The month in which demand was more than supply, the additional demand was met by the stock from cold storage.

Question 1

What was the maximum percentage of apples supplied by any state in any of the months?

Video Solution

Solution

This percentage is maximum in February in J&K; where the percentage is $$\frac{11183}{11285}=99.09$$%

Question 2

Which state supplied the maximum number of apples?

Video Solution

Solution

From the table it is clear that the state which supplied the most number of apples is either HP or J&K.; UP and Cold Storage supplied less than a thousand apples in total.

The total number of apples supplied by HP is 231,028
The total number of apples supplied by J&K; is 262,735

Hence, the correct answer is J&K;

Question 3

Which state supplied the highest percentage of apples from the total apples supplied?

Video Solution

Solution

The answer to this question is the same as the state which supplied the maximum number of apples.

We can rule out UP and Cold Storage as they supplied significantly less than the other two.
Among the other two states,

The total number of apples supplied by HP is 231,028
The total number of apples supplied by J&K; is 262,735

Hence, the correct answer is J&K;

Question 4

In which of the following periods was the supply greater than or equal to the demand?

Video Solution

Solution

The supply is greater than or equal to demand if the cold storage number is zero.

This is the case between the months May-September.

Hence, the correct option is option (c)

Question 5

If the yield per tree was 40 kg, then from how many trees were the apples supplied to New Delhi (in millions) during the year?

Video Solution

Solution

To calculate the number of trees required, let us calculate the total number of tonnes supplied.

The total number of tonnes supplied equals 494,525.

One tree supplies 40 kilograms.

Hence, the number of trees required is $$\frac{494525*1000}{40} \approx 12.5$$ million trees

Question 6

Using the data in the earlier question, if there were 250 trees per hectare, then how many hectares of land was used?

Video Solution

Solution

In the earlier question, we determined that we needed 12.36 million trees per year.
Each hectare has 250 trees.

So, number of hectares of land used is $$\frac{12.36*1000000}{250} \approx 49450$$
