The average surplus of rice for the period 2009 to 2013 is required. The period includes 5 years (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013). Surplus is calculated as Production minus Consumption.
\n– 2009 Surplus: 100 – 98 = 2 million tonnes
\n– 2010 Surplus: 104 – 102 = 2 million tonnes
\n– 2011 Surplus: 107 – 106 = 1 million tonne
\n– 2012 Surplus: 103 – 101 = 2 million tonnes
\n– 2013 Surplus: 105 – 102 = 3 million tonnes
\n– Total surplus for 2009-2013 = 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 10 million tonnes.
\n– Average surplus = Total surplus \/ Number of years = 10 \/ 5 = 2.0 million tonnes.
\n– This calculated average (2.0) does not match any of the options (1.53, 1.22, 1.44, 1.84). However, the official answer key lists D (1.84) as correct. This indicates a discrepancy between the data, calculation, and the official answer key. Assuming the official key is correct in the exam context, the answer is 1.84.<\/section>\n
Calculate the surplus (Production – Consumption) for each year in the specified period (2009-2013), sum these values, and divide by the number of years (5).<\/section>\n
A significant discrepancy exists between the calculated average (2.0) based on the standard data table and the official answer (1.84), suggesting a potential error in the question, data, options, or key.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
