We need to find the total trade by P3 Total trade by P3 = total exports by P3 + total imports by P3. To find the total exports we will see the row of P3, those will be the total exports. While the imports will be the exports of others to P3, so if we see all the values of row of P3 then that will total up to his imports.

Total trade by P3 = (total exports) + (total imports)

= (17 + 9 + 15 + 7 + 24) + (40 + 35 + 28 + 53 + 57)

= 285

Now to find the total trade between P3 and P2 we will add the exports of P3 to P2 and exports of P2 to P3 (imports of P3 from P2). The value comes out to be = 9 + 35 = 44

As we know in a pie total angle is 360 de

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.

Profit earned at present = Rs. 65,000,000

New cost of wool = Rs. 120 per pound. So the total cost is now Rs. 180,000,000. As the revenue is same hence the new profit will be Rs. 20,000,000. So there is decrease of Rs. 45,000,000 which is a 70% decrease approx.

As cost is not known, hence profit cannot be calculated.

Udupi (Spinning yarn)

Number of spindles = 20000

Production per spindle per year = 1500 metres

Total satin cloth production = 20000 * 1500 = 30,000,000 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.

The passive voice writing style is suitable for formal writing, scientific reports or any such situation where the subject is less important than the object, like the experiment was conducted. It highlights the action or result. In such style of writing object is doer instead of subject.

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.

To convert a sentence from active to passive voice, we first need to make the object of the active voice sentence the subject, then convert the sentence as per active-passive rules mentioned on the page above.  There are some exceptions also which we need to keep in mind while converting a sentence from active to passive voice.
