Carbon pickup during the production of austenitic stainless steels has caused premature failures of intergranular corrosion.

Carbon pickup during the production of austenitic stainless steels has caused premature failures of intergranular corrosion. Correct Answer True

Carbon pickup or surface carburization during the production of austenitic stainless steel has caused premature failures. It occurs when these steels are cast into molds that contain carbonaceous materials such as organic binders and baked oil sand. It reduces the corrosive resistance of these steels in the viewpoint of intergranular attack.

The given bar graph represents data of the production of paper (in ten lakh tonnes) by three different companies X, Y and Z during the years 2008 to 2012. The x-axis shows the 'years' and the y-axis represents the 'production of paper (ten lakh tonnes)'. (Note: The data shown is only for mathematical exercise. They do not represent actual figures.)  The total production of Company Y during 2008 and 2009 and Company X for 2011 and 2012 taken together is p% (p is correct to the nearest integer) more than the total production of Company Z during 2010, 2011 and 2012. The total production of Company Z during 2008 and 2009 taken together is q% (q is correct to the nearest integer) less than the total production of Company X during 2008, 2009 and 2012 and Company Y during 2010 and 2011 all together.  What is the positive difference between p and q ?
