The following bar graph gives the information about sugarcane produced (in 00’s ton) in Malagaon during the five consecutive years. The table given below gives the information about the ratio of sugarcane bought by government to that sold in open market.
If the government bought sugarcane for Rs. 250 per ton but that was sold in the open market for Rs. 275 per ton then in the year 2013 and 2014 together, how much less money was obtained from government than the total money obtained from open market in those years?
Rs. 142500
Correct AnswerRs. 132500
Incorrect AnswerRs. 162500
Incorrect AnswerRs. 144500
Incorrect AnswerNone of these
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
The total quantity of sugarcane bought by government in the years 2013 and 2014 together = 34 + 34 = 68 hundred ton = 6800 tons
The total amount received = 6800 × 250 = 1700000
the total quantity of sugarcane sold in the open market in the years 2013 and 2014 together = 16 + 51 = 6700 tons
the total amount received = 6700 × 275 = 1842500
The required difference = 1842500 – 1700000 = 142500
Hence, option A is correct.
