Given:
The production of sugar is thousand tons by there insides A, B, and C.
Calculation:
The total production of A and C in 2001 = 24 + 13 = 37
The total production of A and C in 2002 = 27 + 15 = 42
The total production of A and C in 2003 = 29 + 19 = 48
The total production of A and C in 2004 = 29 + 21 = 50
The total production of A and C in 2005 = 32 + 22 = 54
The difference change in the total production of A and C in 2002 = 42 – 37 = 5
The change in the total production of A and C in 2003 = 48 – 42 = 6
The change in the total production of A and C in 2004 = 50 – 48 = 2
The change in the total production of A and C in 2005 = 54 – 50 = 4
∴ The smallest change in total production of sugar by A and C together in 2004.
