Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
The production data for wheat and maize over five years is given:
Years: 2016-17 to 2020-21
Wheat production (in lakh tonnes): 650, 800, 680, 700, 640
Maize production (in lakh tonnes): 200, 240, 220, 260, 300
Formula used:
Average production = \(\dfrac{\text{Sum of production over years}}{\text{Number of years}}\)
Calculation:
For wheat:
⇒ Sum of production = 650 + 800 + 680 + 700 + 640 = 3470 lakh tonnes
⇒ Average wheat production = \(\dfrac{3470}{5}\) = 694 lakh tonnes
For maize:
⇒ Sum of production = 200 + 240 + 220 + 260 + 300 = 1220 lakh tonnes
⇒ Average maize production = \(\dfrac{1220}{5}\) = 244 lakh tonnes
⇒ Difference in average production = 694 - 244 = 450 lakh tonnes
∴ The correct answer is option (1) 450.
