CAT 1998 — DILR Question 17
Direction: The following table gives the quantity of apples (in tonnes) arriving at
New Delhi market from various states in a particular year. The month in which demand was more than supply, the additional demand was met by the stock from cold storage.
âââââââ
In which of the following periods was the supply greater than the demand?
Answer & solution
- A
August-March
- B
June-October
May-September
- D
Cannot be determined
It is given that in case demand is more than the supply, additional demand is met by taking the stock from the cold storage. So it can be figured out that in all those months when supply was greater than the demand, no stock would have been used from the cold storage. Looking at the table, we can find that during the period May to September, no stock was taken from the cold storage, and hence supply should have been greater than the demand.
