Marks: +1, -0

If due to rise in prices, volume of export of rice decreases by 12% while that of Jute decreases by 14%, but due to fall in the price of sugarcane demand for sugar increases by 6%. What is the net effect on exports from India?

Decrease by 3.2%
Increase by 2.7%
Increase by 3.2%
Decrease by 2.7%
Decrease by 1.9%

Validate

Solution:

Decrease in export of rice =

12 /100 × 2,80,000

= 33,600
Decrease in export of jute =

14/100 × 13,20,000

= 1,84,800
Increase in export of sugar =

6/100 × 10,30,000

= 61,800
Net change in exports = 6,18,000 - 33,600 - 18,400 = -1,56,600
Hence, decrease percentage =

{ 1,56,600}/{48,70,000} × 100

= Decreased by 3.2%
