The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Largest importing country is E whose imports = (32 + 29 + 48 + 2 + 3) = 114 units
Second largest importing country is C whose imports = (25 + 22 + 26 + 20 + 8) = 101 units
Second largest importing country is at par with largest importing country. Its share of the total exports is given by,
\(=69+84+\frac{114}{114+23}+114+96\times100\)
\(=\frac{114}{500}\times100\)
\(=22.8\approx23\%\)
Hence, option C is the correct answer.The correct option is (C): 23%

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Total quantity of gold exported by India to all six countries = 28
Here, 28 units of other minerals should be added instead of gold to the present 459 units to keep the total exported minerals same.
∴ Percentage increase in the export of rest of the minerals is given by,
\(=\frac{28}{459}\times100=6\) (approx)
Hence, option D is the correct answer.The correct option is (D): 6

Question: 3
Eighteen per cent of country E's total requirement of iron ore is being met by imports from India. Next year its total requirement of iron ore is expected to fall by 22% and only 12% of the revised requirement will be imported from India. Assuming all other exports to country E by India remain at the same level, what would be its total percentage drop in quantity exports to E?

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
From the given question,
18\(\%\) of E's Iron ore requirement = 32000 units
E's total Iron ore requirement = 32000 x (100/18) = 177777.78
E's requirement of Iron ore in 2011 = 78\(\%\) of 177777.78 = 138666.6684
Only 12\(\%\) of the revised requirement will be imported from India.
∴ Import of iron ore from India in 2011 = 16640
Total imports of E from India in 2010 = (32 + 29 + 48 + 2 + 3) = 114 x 1000 units
Total imports of E from India in 2011 = 16640 + (29 + 48 + 2 + 3) x 1000 = 98640
Required drop in percentage is given by,
\(=\frac{11400098640}{114000}\times100\)
\(=\frac{15360}{114000}\times100\)
\(=13.4\%\)
Hence, option C is the correct answer.The correct option is (C): 13.4
18\(\%\) of E's Iron ore requirement = 32000 units
E's total Iron ore requirement = 32000 x (100/18) = 177777.78
E's requirement of Iron ore in 2011 = 78\(\%\) of 177777.78 = 138666.6684
Only 12\(\%\) of the revised requirement will be imported from India.
∴ Import of iron ore from India in 2011 = 16640
Total imports of E from India in 2010 = (32 + 29 + 48 + 2 + 3) = 114 x 1000 units
Total imports of E from India in 2011 = 16640 + (29 + 48 + 2 + 3) x 1000 = 98640
Required drop in percentage is given by,
\(=\frac{11400098640}{114000}\times100\)
\(=\frac{15360}{114000}\times100\)

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
International demand for coal from India rises by 12%
⇒ 112% of 149 = 166.88
For Iron ore,
⇒ 108% of 103 = 111.54
For Copper,
⇒ 115% of 75 = 86.25
Total percentage rise in exports from India is given by,
\(=\frac{(111.54+166.88++132+86+.25+28)-487}{487}\times100\)
\(=\frac{524.37-487}{487}\times100\)
\(=\frac{37.37}{487}\times100\)
\(=7.6\%\)
Hence, option D is the correct answer.The correct option is (D): 7.6

- Increase of 3.2%
- Decrease of 2.3%
- Increase of 2.3%
- Decrease of 3.2%
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Volume of gold decreases by 12\(\%\),
= 88\(\%\) of 28 = 24.64
Volume of silver decreases by 14\(\%\),
= 86\(\%\) of 132 = 113.52
Volume of Iron ore increases by 6\(\%\),
= 106\(\%\) of 103 = 109.18
New volume = 109.18 + 149 + 113.52 + 75 + 24.64 = 471.34
Percentage decrease is given by,
\(=\frac{487-471.34}{487}\times100\)
\(=\frac{15.66}{487}\times100\)
\(=32\%\)
Hence, option D is the correct answer.The correct option is (D): Decrease of 3.2%
= 88\(\%\) of 28 = 24.64
Volume of silver decreases by 14\(\%\),
= 86\(\%\) of 132 = 113.52
Volume of Iron ore increases by 6\(\%\),
= 106\(\%\) of 103 = 109.18
New volume = 109.18 + 149 + 113.52 + 75 + 24.64 = 471.34
Percentage decrease is given by,
\(=\frac{487-471.34}{487}\times100\)
\(=\frac{15.66}{487}\times100\)
