Answer & solution

  • A

    1997-98 and 1994-95

  • 1996-97 and 1997-98

  • C

    1996-97 and 1998-99

  • D

    1996-97 and 1994-95

Solution

Let’s check for the year 1994-95 as it appears in options 1 and 4.

Percentage export for 1994-95 = 485+177+62041×100=32.72%
∵ This is less than 35%, options 1 and 4 can be eliminated.

∴ The correct answer will be either option 2 or 3.

∴ Check for either one of 1997-98 or 1998-99.

Percentage export for 1998-99 = 2650+4+186052×100=44.15%
∵ This is more than 40%.

∴ Option 3 can also be eliminated.

∴ Hence, option (b).
