(b)

The trade deficit has increased by 6 percent in 2015 as compared to the previous year 2014.

Now, Trade deficit in 2015 = 1.06 * trade deficit in 2014

Trade deficit in 2014 = 12320/1.06

= Rs. 11622 crores

In 2014, 1 pound = Rs. 38

The trade deficit in 2014 in million pounds

= 11622/38

= £305.8 crores

= £3058 million … (1 crore = 10 million)

Hence, option (b).

(d)

The trade deficit has increased by 5 percent in 2014 as compared to the previous year 2013.

Trade deficit in 2014

$= T r a d e d e f i c i t i n 2013 + \frac{5}{100} (T r a d e ? d e f i c i t ? i n ? 2013 ? ?)$

$= T r a d e d e f i c i t i n 2014 = \frac{105 (T r a d e ? d e f i c i t ? i n ? 2013 ? ?)}{100}$

(Exports in 2014 – Imports in 2014) = 1.05 * (Exports in 2013 – Imports in 2013)

Now, Imports in 2014 = Imports in 2013 = z

28950 – z = 1.05 * (Exports in 2023 – z)

We have two variables in one equation.

The data is insufficient to answer the question.

Hence, option (d).

(c)

We can see that the slope of the line from year 2015 to 2016 if the lowest. Lesser the slope, lesser is the percentage change. (However, note that though the slope of the line for 2013 and 2015 is the same, the percentage change for the two years is not.)

Hence, option (c).
