Answer & solution
- A
The annual software exports steadily increased but annual hardware exports steadily declined during 1994-1999.
- B
The annual peripheral exports steadily increased during 1994-1999.
The total IT business in training during 1994-1999 was higher than the total IT business in maintenance during the same period.
- D
None of the above statements is true.
Option 1 is false as there is no steady decline in annual hardware exports.
Option 2 is false as annual peripheral exports increase but then it declined in 1998-99.
For option3
Total IT business in training during 1994-99
= 107 + 143 + 185 + 263 + 302
= 1000 million dollars
Total IT business in maintenance during 1994-99
= 142 + 172 + 182 + 221 + 236
= 953 million dollar
∴ Total IT business in training during 1994-99 is higher than the total IT business in maintenance during the same period.
Hence, option (c).
