Solution
2.Average production of Company X in the period 1998-2000
= 1/3 × (25 + 50 + 40) lakh tons
= 115/3 lakh tons
Average production of Company Y in the period 1998-2000
= 1/3 × (35 + 40 + 50) lakh tons
= 125/3 lakh tons
Required ratio = (115/3) : (125/3) = 23 : 25
3.%increase in the production of Company Y from 1996 to 1999
= [(40 - 25)/25] × 100 = 60%
4.Average production (in lakh tons) in five years for the three companies are:
For,
Company X = 1/5 × (30 + 45 + 25 + 50 + 40) = 38
Company Y = 1/5 × (25 + 35 + 35 + 40 + 50) = 37
Company Z = 1/5 × (35 + 40 + 45 + 35 + 35) = 38
Therefore, average production of five years is maximum for both the Companies X and Z.
5.%change (rise/fall) in the production of Company Y in comparison to the previous year, for different years are:
For 1997 = [(32 - 25)/25] × 100 = 40%
For 1998 = [(35 - 35)/35] × 100 = 0%
For 1999 = [(40 - 35)/35] × 100 = 14.29%
For 2000 = [(50 - 40)/40] × 100 = 25%
Hence, the maximum percentage rise/fall in the production of Company Y is for 1997.
6.Average annual exports (in Rs. crore) of Company Y during the given period
= 1/7 × (80 + 40 + 60 + 60 + 80 + 100 + 140)
= 80
Average annual exports (in Rs. crore) of Company Z during the given period
= 1/7 × (60 + 90 + 120 + 90 + 60 + 80 + 100)
= (600/7)
Required% = [(80 × 7)/600] × 100 = 93.33% (approx)
7.Average annual exports of Company Z during the given period
= 1/7 × (60 + 90 + 120 + 90 + 60 + 80 + 100)
= Rs.85.71 crores
From the analysis of graph the exports of Company Z are more than the average annual exports of Company Z during the years 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1999, i.e, during 4 of the given years.
8.Average exports of the three companies in 1993
= 1/3 × (30 + 80 + 60)
= Rs.(170/3) crores
Average exports of the three companies in 1998
= 1/3 × (50 + 100 + 80)
= Rs.(230/3) crores
Difference = [(230/3) - (170/3)] = Rs.20 crores
9.The difference between the exports from the Companies X and Y during various years are:
In 1993 = (80 - 30) = Rs.50 crores
In 1994 = (60 - 40) = Rs.20 crores
In 1995 = (60 - 40) = Rs.20 crores
In 1996 = (70 - 60) = Rs.10 crores
In 1997 = (100 - 80) = Rs.20 crores
In 1998 = (100 - 50) = Rs.50 crores
In 1999 = (140 - 120) = Rs.20 crores
Clearly, the difference is minimum in the year 1996.
10.Total exports of the three companies together during various years are:
In 1993 = (30 + 80 + 60) = Rs.170 crores
In 1994 = (60 + 40 + 90) = Rs.190 crores
In 1995 = (40 + 60 + 120) = Rs.220 crores
In 1996 = (70 + 60 + 90) = Rs.220 crores
In 1997 = (100 + 80 + 60) = Rs.240 crores
In 1998 = (50 + 100 + 80) = Rs.230 crores
In 1999 = (120 + 140 + 100) = Rs.360 crores
Clearly, the total exports of the three companies together are same during the years 1995 and 1996.
