This question was previously asked in

The correct answer is
2012

Cap Production Comparison: Find Equal Output Year

The question asks us to identify the specific year when the production volume (in thousands) of Cap Q was exactly the same as the production volume of Cap R. We can determine this by carefully examining the data provided in the table.

Type of Cap/Year 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
M 768 962 878 968 884
N 560 753 473 560 637
Q 586 637 576 753 678
R 778 780 560 780 678

Detailed Data Analysis: Cap Q vs Cap R Production

To find the year where Cap Q production equals Cap R production, we will compare their values year by year:

  • 2008: Cap Q production was 586 (thousand), while Cap R production was 778 (thousand). These are not equal.
  • 2009: Cap Q production was 637 (thousand), while Cap R production was 780 (thousand). These are not equal.
  • 2010: Cap Q production was 576 (thousand), while Cap R production was 560 (thousand). These are not equal.
  • 2011: Cap Q production was 753 (thousand), while Cap R production was 780 (thousand). These are not equal.
  • 2012: Cap Q production was 678 (thousand), and Cap R production was also 678 (thousand). These values are equal.

The condition is met when the production of Cap Q is the same as Cap R. Using mathematical notation, we are looking for a year 'Y' such that: $Production_Q(Y) = Production_R(Y)$

Based on our analysis, this equality holds true for the year 2012, where both Cap Q and Cap R had a production of 678 thousand units.
