Marks: +1, -0

Which of the below statements are true, based on the data in the above table?

Oil is used for ‘Transport’ purpose by Metro City is increasing every since 1996.
Oil is used for ‘Industrial’ purpose by Metro City is increasing every since 1996.
Oil used by ‘Suburban’ is increasing every year since 2000.
Total Oil Produced’ is increasing every year since 2003.

Solution:

Total oil used in the year 1996

=10+700+1794+104=2608.

Total oil produced in the year 1996

=10+700+1794+104+650=3258

Similarly, we can calculate for the remaining quantities for both the years. Tabulating the same data,

Oil Sales by Type of Use and Production Loss (MT)
	Oil Used				Total Oil Used	Oil Production Loss	Total Oil Produced
	Metro City			Suburban
Year	House Hold	Transport	Industrial	Suburban
1996	10	700	1794	104	2608	650	3258
1997	16	920	1864	114	2914	732	3646
1998	22	1012	1732	104	2870	834	3704
1999	22	1054	1668	90	2834	1102	3936
2000	20	1092	1700	108	2920	702	3622
2001	22	1320	1752	168	3262	492	3754
2002	14	1854	1618	172	3658	386	4044
2003	6	2046	1270	178	3500	444	3944
2004	16	2118	1480	208	3822	506	4328
2005	4	2252	1132	230	3618	1032	4650
2006	4	2384	1228	210	3826	1142	4968
2007	8	2096	1672	254	4030	1454	5484
2008	0.2	2240	1646	266	4152.2	1428	5580.2

From the table, we can see that quantity of 'total oil Produced’ is increasing every year since 2003.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
