The bar graph shows the export and import of different countries. Which country's trade surplus matches the average trade surplus of all countries? (Trade surplus = Exports - Imports)

The bar graph shows the export and import of different countries. Which country's trade surplus matches the average trade surplus of all countries? (Trade surplus = Exports - Imports) Correct Answer C

Given:

Import of country A = 3300

Export of country A = 3000

Import of country B = 3600

Export of country B = 5500

Import of country C = 3000

Export of country C = 3700

Import of country D = 2000

Export of country D = 2200

Import of country E = 2000

Export of country E = 3000

Formula used:

Average = (The sum of all items)/(The total number of items)

Calculation:

⇒ The trade surplus of A = 3000 - 3300 = -300

⇒ The trade surplus of B = 5500 - 3600 = 1900

⇒ The trade surplus of C = 3700 - 3000 = 700

⇒ The trade surplus of D = 2200 - 2000 = 200

⇒ The trade surplus of E = 3000 - 2000 = 1000

⇒ The average surplus of all countries = (-300 + 1900 + 700 + 200 + 1000)/5 = 3500/5 = 700

⇒ Hence, average surplus is equal to surplus of country C

∴ The required result will be "C".
