Analyzing Vehicle Production Data

The question asks us to find the year in which the total production of all three types of vehicles (A, B, and C) reached 60000. To answer this, we need to look at the provided table showing the year-wise production data for Type A, Type B, and Type C vehicles from 2012 to 2018.

The table is as follows:

Calculating Total Vehicle Production Per Year

To find the year with a total production of 60000, we need to sum the production numbers for Vehicle Type A, Type B, and Type C for each year. Let's calculate the total production for each year from 2012 to 2018.

• Year 2012: Total Production = Production (A) + Production (B) + Production (C)
  Total Production (2012) = $5000 + 20000 + 15000 = 40000$
• Year 2013: Total Production = $15000 + 10000 + 22500 = 47500$
• Year 2014: Total Production = $10000 + 15000 + 30000 = 55000$
• Year 2015: Total Production = $17500 + 15000 + 23000 = 55500$
• Year 2016: Total Production = $25000 + 20000 + 15000 = 60000$
• Year 2017: Total Production = $13000 + 25000 + 20000 = 58000$
• Year 2018: Total Production = $30000 + 35000 + 25000 = 90000$

Identifying the Year with 60000 Production

By calculating the total vehicle production for each year, we can now identify which year had a total production of 60000. Looking at our calculations:

• 2012: 40000
• 2013: 47500
• 2014: 55000
• 2015: 55500
• 2016: 60000
• 2017: 58000
• 2018: 90000

The total production of all three types of vehicles was exactly 60000 in the year 2016.

Therefore, the correct year is 2016.

Additional Information: Data Interpretation Skills

Data interpretation questions, like this one involving vehicle production data, require careful reading and calculation based on the provided table or chart. Key skills needed for data interpretation include:

• Understanding the labels and units used in the table (e.g., Year, Vehicle Type, production numbers).
• Identifying what the question is asking.
• Locating the relevant data points in the table.
• Performing the necessary calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, percentage, ratio, average, etc.) accurately.
• Comparing results or identifying specific values as required by the question.
• Being careful with large numbers and reading values correctly from the table.

In this specific problem, the main task was simple addition across a row for each year and then comparing the sums to a target value (60000).
