Question

If the imports of country A in 2005 and the exports of country B in 2010 were Rs. 3.4 million and Rs. 8 million respectively, the imports of B in 2010 was what percent more than the exports of A in 2005?

• A. 46
• B. 50
• C. 72
• D. 92
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D 92

For country A in 2005,
$\frac{Imports}{Exports}=0.68$
$\Rightarrow$ Exports = Rs $\frac{3.4}{0.68}$ million
= Rs 5 million
For country B in 2010,
$\Rightarrow \frac{Imports}{Exports}=1.2$
$\Rightarrow$ Imports = $1.2\times exports$
$=1.2\times 8$
= Rs. 9.6 million
$\therefore$ Percentage increase,
$=\frac{9.6-5}{5}\times 100=92\%$
