The total exports and revenues from the exports of a country are given in the two charts shown below. The pie chart for exports shows the quantity of each item exported as a percentage of the total quantity of exports. The pie chart for the revenues shows the percentage of the total revenue generated through export of each item. The total quantity of exports of all the items is 500 thousand tonnes and the total revenues are 250 crore rupees. Which item among the following has generated the maximum revenue per kg? Correct Answer Item 5

Given:

The total quantity of exports of all the items = 500 thousand tonnes

The total revenues = 250 crore rupees

Calculation:

Total revenue for item 1 = 12% ×  250 × 10 = 3 × 10rupees

Total export for item 1 = 11% × 500 × 106 = 55 × 106 kg

Item1revenue per kg = (3/55) × 102  = 5.45 rupees

Total revenue for item 2 = 20% × 250 × 10 = 5 × 109  rupees

Total export for item 2 = 20% × 500 × 106 = 108 kg

Item 2 revenue per kg = 50 rupees

Total revenue for item 3 = 23% × 250 × 10 = 575 × 107

Total export for item 3 = 19% × 500 × 106 = 95 × 106 

Item 3 revenue per kg = 60. 52 rupees

Total revenue for item 4 = 6% × 250 × 10 = 15  × 108

Total export for item 4 = 22% × 500 × 106 = 11 × 107

Item 4 revenue per kg = 13.63 rupees

Total revenue for item 5 = 20% × 250 × 10 = 5 × 109  rupees

Total export for item 5 = 12% × 500 × 106 = 6 × 10 rupees

Item 5 revenue per kg = 83.33 rupees

Total revenue for item 6 = 19% × 250 × 10 = 475  × 10 rupees

Total export for item 6 = 16% × 500 × 106 = 8  × 10 rupees

Item 6 revenue per kg = 59.375  rupees

∴ Item 5 has generated the maximum revenue per kg
