For question 1 to 5: Refer to the data below and answer the questions that follow.
The following bar chart gives demand and supply of supply of sugar in country A.
What is the difference between the number of years of deficit and number of years of surplus?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. Data insufficient
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1

Years of deficit are when demand is greater than supply i.e., year 2000 and year 2001. Years of surplus are when supply is greater than demand i.e., year 1997, 1998 and 1999.
Therefore, required difference = 3 -2 =1. Hence, [a].
