Which product is produced least over the years 2000 - 2005?

This question was previously asked in
CDS II 2021 General Knowledge Previous Year Paper (14-Nov-2021)
The correct answer is

Type 3

To find out which product type was produced the least over the years 2000 to 2005, we need to calculate the total production for each type across all these years. The data is provided in the table.

Calculating Total Multivitamin Production by Type

We will sum the production figures for each type of multivitamin tablet from the year 2000 to 2005.

  • Type 1 Production: \(160 + 200 + 135 + 240 + 180 + 210 = 1125\) lakhs
  • Type 2 Production: \(80 + 150 + 35 + 95 + 110 + 150 = 620\) lakhs
  • Type 3 Production: \(70 + 85 + 44 + 120 + 85 + 100 = 504\) lakhs
  • Type 4 Production: \(90 + 160 + 95 + 80 + 95 + 92 = 612\) lakhs
  • Type 5 Production: \(75 + 100 + 85 + 120 + 115 + 110 = 605\) lakhs

Comparing Total Production to Find the Least Produced Type

Now, let's compare the total production for each type:

  • Type 1: 1125 lakhs
  • Type 2: 620 lakhs
  • Type 3: 504 lakhs
  • Type 4: 612 lakhs
  • Type 5: 605 lakhs

Comparing these totals, we can see that Type 3 has the lowest total production (504 lakhs) over the years 2000-2005.

Multivitamin Production Analysis Result

Based on the calculations, the product produced least over the years 2000-2005 is Type 3.

Additional Information on Production Data Analysis

Data analysis like this is useful for companies to understand which products are performing well and which are not. Analyzing production data over time helps identify trends, plan inventory, and make decisions about manufacturing capacity. In this case, Type 3 multivitamin tablets had the lowest cumulative production over this six-year period compared to other types.
