The following table shows CFC emissions (in million metric tons) from various sectors for an industry for a period of 5 years. Based on the table answer the question given below. Sector Year Cement Fertilizer Foam Pesticides 2015 200 500 80 100 2016 300 600 90 110 2017 320 650 100 120 2018 400 700 150 150 2019 450 800 200 180 The contribution of CFC emission from the fertilizer sector, in comparison to the total CFC emissions from all the sectors, was the least in which year? Correct Answer 2019

Calculation:

The total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2015 = (200 + 500 + 80 + 100)

⇒ 880

The total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2016 = (300 + 600 + 90 + 110)

⇒ 1100

The total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2017 = (320 + 650 + 100 + 120)

⇒ 1190

The total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2018 = (400 + 700 + 150 + 150)

⇒ 1400

The total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2019 = (450 + 800 + 200 + 180)

⇒ 1630

Now,

The contribution of CFC emission from the fertilizer sector, in comparison to the total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2015 = (500/880 × 100)

⇒ 56.81%

The contribution of CFC emission from the fertilizer sector, in comparison to the total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2016 = (600/1100 × 100)

⇒ 54.54%

The contribution of CFC emission from the fertilizer sector, in comparison to the total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2017 = (650/1190 × 100)

⇒ 54.62%

The contribution of CFC emission from the fertilizer sector, in comparison to the total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2018 = (700/1400 × 100)

⇒ 50%

The contribution of CFC emission from the fertilizer sector, in comparison to the total CFC emissions from all the sectors in 2019 = (800/1630 × 100)

⇒ 49.07%

∴ The contribution of CFC emission from the fertilizer sector, in comparison to the total CFC emissions from all the sectors, was least in 2019
