Question

    The table below shows the production (in tons) of five types of grains (Wheat, Rice, Maize, Barley, and Millet) by five states (P, Q, R, S, and T) in a year. The percentage contribution of each state to the total production of a grain is also given.

    What is the total grain production by State R across all

    the grains?
    A 340 tons Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 355 tons Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 365 tons Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 475 tons Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Production contribution of R for each grain: Wheat: (25/100) × 500 = 125 tons Rice: (20/100) × 600 = 120 tons Maize: (30/100) × 400 = 120 tons Barley: (20/100) × 300 = 60 tons Millet: (25/100) × 200 = 50 tons Total production for R = 125 + 120 + 120 + 60 + 50 = 475 tons. Correct option: d)
