Question Statement:

A dual bar chart depicts fertilizer demand and supply (in thousand tonnes): Year 1 (Demand 500, Supply 400), Year 2 (Demand 600, Supply 500), Year 3 (Demand 700, Supply 630). The overall supply deficit percentage relative to total demand over the three years combined is:

  • (A) 15%
  • (B) 12%
  • (C) 18%
  • (D) 10%

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Total demand $= 500 + 600 + 700 = 1800$. Total supply $= 400 + 500 + 630 = 1530$. Deficit $= 1800 - 1530 = 270$. Deficit percentage $= (270 / 1800) \times 100 = 15\%$.
