Study the following bar charts and answer the questions.
Foreign Trade (Imports and Exports) by countries for the year (1993 - 1994)
The ratio of the maximum exports to the minimum imports was closest to ?
64
69
74
79
Correct answer is B
The value of maximum exports = 6045.
The value of minimum imports = 87.
Therefore, the required ratio (6045/87) = 69.48 = 69 (approximately).
The total of the first three deficit countries (in Rs. crores) = 3594.3. The total of next five deficit countries (in Rs. crores) = 2588.5. The total of the last five deficit countries (in Rs. crores) = 334.2.
Cumulative Trade Deficit/Surplus of Countries for the Year 2006 - 2007 (All figures in Rs. Crores).
The net total deficit/surplus is equal to ?
4656.6 surplus
4656.6 deficit
3836.5 deficit
None of these
Correct answer is B
Adding all surpluses and subtracting all deficits will give an overall value of deficit of 4656.6
The total of the first three deficit countries (in Rs. crores) = 3594.3. The total of next five deficit countries (in Rs. crores) = 2588.5. The total of the last five deficit countries (in Rs. crores) = 334.2.
