Total satin cloth production = 20000 * 1500 = 30,000,000 metres
If only 80% production is then satin cloth = 24,000,000 metres
Out of this 30% production is exported = 7,200,000 metres.
So, total revenue will be now = Rs. 432,000,000
The revenue with full production is Rs. 540,000,000
Hence, there is a decrease of 20%.
Short cut method: If production decreases by x% then be it domestic or export the quantity will decrease by 20% as the both are a part of total production. And as price is constant so revenue change will be same as the production change.

Udupi (Spinning yarn)
Number of spindles = 20000
Production per spindle per year = 1500 metres

Out of the total 30% is exported i.e. 9,000,000 metres is exported and rest 21,000,000 is sold domestically. Also the selling price in domestic market is Rs. 20 and in export market its 200% more than the domestic market i.e. Rs. 60 in the export market. The table below sums us the scenario.

Domestic | 21000000 | 20 | 420,000,000 |
Export | 9000000 | 60 | 540,000,000 |

In normal English it is advised to write sentences in active voice only. Since the sentence structure of active voice is simple and easy to understand for a user, unless asked, we need to prioritize writing in active voice only. It is generally preferred for straightforward communication or in Technical writing.

Active voice occurs when the subject performs an action. While on the other hand, passive voice occurs when the subject receives the action. Normally it is recommended to use active voice in writing, as sentences get complicated in passive voice.
