UPSC CAPF – 2012
The correct answer is B) 50%. Based on the standard percentages for this question (Rice 30%, Wheat 25%, Sugarcane 20%, Others 25%), the yield of Rice is 30% and the yield of Sugarcane is 20%.
– Percentage yield of Rice = 30%.
– Percentage yield of Sugarcane = 20%.
– The question asks for the percentage by which Rice yield is *more than* Sugarcane yield. This is calculated relative to the Sugarcane yield.
– Difference in percentage points = 30% – 20% = 10%.
– Percentage more than Sugarcane = (Difference / Sugarcane Percentage) * 100.
Calculation: (10 / 20) * 100 = (1/2) * 100 = 50%. So, the yield of rice is 50% more than that of sugarcane.
