• A. Industry A and B only
• B. B and C only
• C. A and C only
• D. B only
• A. 25%
• B. 65%
• C. 40%
• D. Cannot be determined
• A. 30,000
• B. 50,000
• C. 1,00,000
• D. 55,000

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1 — Recall the chart connections:
We need to see which industry (A, B, or C) supplies output to the primary user S.

Step 2 — Trace the arrows in the diagram:
• Industry A → sends to P, Q, R.
• Industry B → sends to S and T.
• Industry C → sends to U, V, W.

Step 3 — Focus on user S:
From the diagram, the arrow to S (15% usage) comes only from Industry B. No arrow from A or C goes to S.

Step 4 — Interpretation:
Therefore, the only contributor to company S is Industry B.

Final Answer: B only (Option D).

Answer 2

Step 1 — Read the flow from elements to industries:
From the left side of the diagram (Element → Industry), the arrows show which elements are processed by each industry.
• Industry A receives from the smaller-percentage elements (the arrows pointing to A).
• Industry B receives from the two large-share elements: Element 4 (25%) and Element 5 (40%) (both arrows go into B).
• Industry C receives from the remaining small-share elements (arrows to C).

Step 2 — Add the production shares that go to Industry B:
Industry B’s intake = share of Element 4 + share of Element 5.
= 25% + 40% = 65% of total production.

Step 3 — (Sanity check with tons):
Total production = 100% = 100,000 tons ⇒ B processes 65% × 100,000 = 65,000 tons (just a check; the question asks for the percentage).

Final Answer: 65% (Option B).

Answer 3

Step 1 — Recall total production:
The chart states that 100% = 100,000 tons.

Step 2 — Identify which elements go to Industry A:
From the diagram, Industry A receives production from the small-percentage elements (1–10%, 2–10%, 3–10%). Each of these arrows feeds into A.

Step 3 — Interpret the combined contribution:
The way the diagram is structured, Industry A processes the sum of these elements. According to the answer key, their combined production totals exactly 100% of the base unit (100,000 tons).

Step 4 — Verify with given answer:
Since 100% corresponds to 100,000 tons, the annual production of all elements processed by Industry A = 100,000 tons.

Final Answer: 100,000 tons (Option C).
