Solution:

Concept:

Compare total production of each product type over six years (2000-2005).

Explanation:

Calculate total production for each type from the given data.

Type 1:

160 + 200 + 135 + 240 + 180 + 210 = 1125

Type 2:

80 + 150 + 35 + 95 + 110 + 150 = 620

Type 3:

70 + 85 + 44 + 120 + 85 + 100 = 504

Type 4:

90 + 160 + 95 + 80 + 95 + 92 = 612

Type 5:

75 + 100 + 85 + 120 + 115 + 110 = 605

The smallest total among these is

504

for Type 3.
