The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The Balance of Trade (BOT) is calculated as Exports Imports.
Given that BOT = Rs.200 crore and Imports = Rs.900 crore, we can use the formula: \[ {Exports} {Imports} = {BOT} \] Substituting the values: \[ {Exports} 900 = 200 \] Solving for Exports: \[ {Exports} = 700 \] Conclusion: The value of exports required to maintain a balance of trade deficit of Rs.200 crore is Rs.700 crore.
