The line chart given below shows production of sugar by two companies A and B in 5 years. Which of the following statement is correct? I. The production of sugar by A in years J and K together is 7.69 percent more the production of sugar by B in year L and M together. II. The ratio of combined production of sugar by B in years M and N to the combined production of sugar by A in years K and L is 21 ∶ 16.

Explanation

Calculation: I. The production of sugar by A in years J and K together is 7.69 percent more the production of sugar by B in year L and M together. Production of sugar by A in years J and K together = 70 + 50 = 120 Production of sugar by B in year L and M together = 70 + 60 = 130 According to the question: 130 - 120 = 10 10/130 = 7.69% The production of sugar by A in years J and K together is 7.69% less than the production of sugar by B in years L and M together. Statement I is wrong. II. The ratio of combined production of sugar by B in years M and N to the combined production of sugar by A in years K and L is 21 ∶ 16. Production of sugar by B in years M and N = 60 + 45 = 105 Production of sugar by A in years K and L = 50 + 30 = 80 Ratio = 105 : 80 = 21 : 16 Statement II is correct. ∴ Option 1 is the correct answer.
