Indian Institute of Foreign Trade 2009 Solved Paper

Productivity is defined as total production per hectare.
Total productivity of pulses in the year 2006 Total productivity of pulses in the year 2007Total productivity of pulses in the year 2008We can see that clearly, Total productivity of pulses in the year 2008 > Total productivity of pulses in the year 2007>Total productivity of pulses in the year 2006. Hence, statement I is incorrect. Hence, we can reject option A and B.
Productivity of Maize in the year 2006 =

1102

1004

=1.097
Productivity of Maize in the year 2007=

1116

1020

=1.094
Productivity of Maize in the year 2008=

1182

1101

=1.073
We can see that productivity is approximately same during the given period for Maize. Hence, statement II is correct.
Therefore, we can reject option D.
Thus, we can say that option C is the correct answer.
