Question

The exports and imports (in crores of Rs.) of a country from 2000 to 2007 are given in the following bar chart. If the trade deficit is defined as excess of imports over exports, in which year is the trade deficit 1/5th of the exports?

• A.
  2005
• B.
  2004
• C.
  2007
• D.
  2006

Answer 1

The correct option is D

2006
Deficit should be equal to (1/5)th of exports which is possible in 2006

$Deficit=\frac{Imports-Exports}{Exports}$

$=\frac{120-100}{100}=\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5}$
