From 2016 to 2020, how many more trees were planted in Ahmedabad as compared to trees planted in Pune?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2020 Tier-II (English) Previous Year Paper (29-Jan-2022)
The correct answer is

1860

Understanding the Tree Planting Data

The question asks us to compare the total number of trees planted in Ahmedabad and Pune over a five-year period, from 2016 to 2020, based on the provided table. We need to find out how many more trees were planted in Ahmedabad compared to Pune during this time.

First, let's examine the data presented in the table:

Years Chandigarh Ahmadabad Pune Kolkata
2016 1800 2500 1800 2000
2017 2500 2300 1850 1800
2018 2300 2400 1840 1760
2019 2440 1950 1900 1600
2020 2250 2100 2000 1750

Calculating Total Trees in Ahmedabad

To find the total number of trees planted in Ahmedabad from 2016 to 2020, we need to sum the numbers in the Ahmedabad column for each year:

  • Trees planted in Ahmedabad in 2016 = 2500
  • Trees planted in Ahmedabad in 2017 = 2300
  • Trees planted in Ahmedabad in 2018 = 2400
  • Trees planted in Ahmedabad in 2019 = 1950
  • Trees planted in Ahmedabad in 2020 = 2100

Total trees in Ahmedabad (2016-2020) = $2500 + 2300 + 2400 + 1950 + 2100$

Total trees in Ahmedabad = $11250$

Calculating Total Trees in Pune

Next, we calculate the total number of trees planted in Pune from 2016 to 2020 by summing the numbers in the Pune column for each year:

  • Trees planted in Pune in 2016 = 1800
  • Trees planted in Pune in 2017 = 1850
  • Trees planted in Pune in 2018 = 1840
  • Trees planted in Pune in 2019 = 1900
  • Trees planted in Pune in 2020 = 2000

Total trees in Pune (2016-2020) = $1800 + 1850 + 1840 + 1900 + 2000$

Total trees in Pune = $9390$

Finding the Difference in Trees Planted

The question asks how many more trees were planted in Ahmedabad compared to Pune. To find this difference, we subtract the total number of trees planted in Pune from the total number of trees planted in Ahmedabad:

Difference = Total trees in Ahmedabad - Total trees in Pune

Difference = $11250 - 9390$

Difference = $1860$

Therefore, 1860 more trees were planted in Ahmedabad as compared to trees planted in Pune from 2016 to 2020.

Summary of Calculations

Here's a quick look at the totals:

City Total Trees Planted (2016-2020)
Ahmedabad 11250
Pune 9390

Difference = $11250 - 9390 = 1860$
