Transport=100000×10/100=10000

Salary=100000×25/100=25000

Raw material=100000×45/100=450000

others=100000×4/100=4000

rent=100000×10/100=100000

D.6-10)The following pie chart 1 shows number of districts in 6 states in India. And the chart 2 shows total agriculture products. By the two charts find the correct answer for the following questions.

Q.6) If the 30% of Pulses supply to all the 6 states given in the chart equally and the states supply those pulses to all the district equally, then how much pulses is getting by each district in Odisha?

a) 120 tonnes

b) 70 tonnes

c) 50 tonnes

d) 65 tonnes

e) 45 tonnes

c

Total production = 100000 tonnes

Pulses = 30% = 30000 tonnes

30% of pulses = 9000 tonnes

Each states get = 9000/6= 1500

odisa districs=18/100×165=30

Odisha districts are 30, so each district get 1500/30= 50 tonnes

10% increase = 3000 tonnes

Potato = 15% = 15000 tonnes

Decrease = 3000 tonnes

% of decrease = 3000/15000× 100 = 20%

d

Pulses = 100000 × 30/100×90/100= 27000

Wheat = 100000 × 20/100×80/100= 16000

Jute = 100000 × 15/100×70/100= 10500

Potato = 100000 × 15/100×80/100= 12000

Rice = 100000 × 20/100×90/100= 18000

Total = 27000 + 16000 + 10500 + 12000 + 18000 = 83500.

100000 – 83500 = 16500.

% of Decrease = 16500/100000× 100 = 16.5%

Q.10) If the 35% of total cultivation are allocated to South India, then How much will Tamil Nadu get, (Assume South India has 200 districts)?

Number of districts in South India = 200

Number of Districts in Tamil Nadu = 30

Then Tamil Nadu gets = 100000 × 35/100×1/200× 30 = 5250 tonnes.
