Solution

The correct option is B Rs. 420 crores
The ratio of imports to exports for the years 1998 and 1999 are 1.25 and 1.40 respectively.
Let the exports in the year 1998 = Rs. x crores.
Then, the exports in the year 1999 = Rs. (500 - x) crores.
1.25=250xx=2501.25=200 [Using ratio for 1998]
Thus, the exports in the year 1999 = Rs. (500 - 200) crores = Rs. 300 crores.
Let the imports in the year 1999 = Rs. y crores.
Then, 1.40=y300y=(300×1.40)=420.
Imports in the year 1999 = Rs. 420 crores.
