In which year, the difference between the exports from company X and company Y was minimum?

• A. 1995
• B. 1994
• C. 1996
• D. 1997

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1996

The following are the differences between the exports from company X and company Y during different years:

In the year 1993, the difference between company X and Company Y is:

= Rs. (80 – 30) crores = Rs. 50 crores.

Similarly, in the year 1994,

= Rs. 60 crores – 40 crores

= Rs. 20 crores.

In the year 1995,

= Rs. (60 – 40) crores

= Rs. 20 crores.

In the year 1996,

= Rs. (70 – 60) crores

= Rs. 10 crores.

In the year 1997,

= Rs. (100 – 80) crores

= Rs. 20 crores.

In the year 1998,

= Rs. (100 – 50) crores

= Rs. 50 crores.

In the year 1999,

= Rs. (140 – 120) crores

= Rs. 20 crores.

Hence, it clearly shows the difference between the exports from company X and company Y was minimum in the year 1996.
