Solution
The correct option is B 600 tonnes The availability of foodgrains per year is equal to the total amount of foodgrains produced per year plus the net imports minus the change in government stocks.
So, availability of food = 800 + (100 - 100) - 200
Therefore, availability of food = 600 tonnes
