Question

The production of rice in the year 2001 was 1000 tones which was 25% of the total food grain production in that year. In the next year if the production of rice decreased by 4% and production of rice as a percentage of total food grain production increased by 5 percentage points, what is the total food grain production in 2002?

Answer 1

3200 tonnes

Step-by-step explanation

Production of rice in 2001 =1000 tonnes

% rice to total production = 25%

Total production =100/25 *1000 = 4000 tonnes

2002 production of rice decrease by 4%

Decrease = 4% * 1000 = 40

Production of rice =960

% production of rice increase by 5% = 25%+5%= 30%

Total food production 100/30*960 =3200 tonnes
