Find out the ratio of export done by country S and T during 2017-2020.

The correct answer is \(\frac {109}{115}\)

Understanding the Data Table

The provided table shows the total Exports (E) and Imports (I) for five different countries (P, Q, R, S, T) over four years (2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020). Each cell contains two values: the first is Imports (I) and the second is Exports (E) for that specific country and year, both in Rs Crore.

Calculating Total Exports for Country S (2017-2020)

To find the total exports for Country S during the period from 2017 to 2020, we need to sum up the export values for Country S for each of these years from the table.

  • Exports of Country S in 2017: 28
  • Exports of Country S in 2018: 28
  • Exports of Country S in 2019: 21
  • Exports of Country S in 2020: 32

Total Exports of Country S (2017-2020) = Sum of exports from 2017 to 2020 for Country S.

Total Exports (S) = $28 + 28 + 21 + 32$

Total Exports (S) = $109$ Rs Crore.

Calculating Total Exports for Country T (2017-2020)

Similarly, to find the total exports for Country T during the period from 2017 to 2020, we sum up the export values for Country T for each year.

  • Exports of Country T in 2017: 31
  • Exports of Country T in 2018: 33
  • Exports of Country T in 2019: 23
  • Exports of Country T in 2020: 28

Total Exports of Country T (2017-2020) = Sum of exports from 2017 to 2020 for Country T.

Total Exports (T) = $31 + 33 + 23 + 28$

Total Exports (T) = $115$ Rs Crore.

Finding the Ratio of Exports

The question asks for the ratio of exports done by Country S and Country T during the period 2017-2020.

Ratio = $\frac{\text{Total Exports of Country S (2017-2020)}}{\text{Total Exports of Country T (2017-2020)}}$

Ratio = $\frac{109}{115}$

The ratio of export done by country S and T during 2017-2020 is $\frac{109}{115}$. This fraction cannot be simplified further as 109 and 115 have no common factors other than 1.

Final Answer Summary

Total Exports of Country S (2017-2020) = 109

Total Exports of Country T (2017-2020) = 115

Ratio of Exports (S : T) = $\frac{109}{115}$

Additional Information: Data Interpretation Basics

Data interpretation questions often require carefully extracting specific information from tables, charts, or graphs and performing calculations such as sums, averages, percentages, or ratios. Key steps usually involve:

  • Understanding the labels and units in the data representation (e.g., rows, columns, axes, currency, years).
  • Identifying the specific data points needed to answer the question.
  • Performing the required calculations accurately.
  • Presenting the final answer in the requested format (e.g., ratio, percentage, specific value).
  • Being careful to distinguish between related values, such as Imports and Exports, as shown in this table.
