1)

In how many of the given years were the exports more than the imports?


A) 1

B) 2

C) 3

D) 4

E) None of these

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Clearly, Export > Import only when $\frac{import}{export}$ < 1

From the graph, it is clear that the above ratio is less than 1

in the years 2005, 2006,2007 and 2010.

Thus (Imports : Exports) < 1 in four years.
