Study the given graph and answer the question that follows.

The average production of paper by company B in 2014, 2017 and 2018 was 13\(\frac{1 }{4}\)% less than the production of paper by company A in the year:

2019

Average production of paper by company B in 2014, 2017 and 2018

= \(\frac{60 + 150 + 180  }{3}\)

= \(\frac{ 390  }{3}\)

= 130 lakh tonnes

average production of B in 2014 , 2017 & 2018.13\(\frac{ 1 }{4}\)% less than production of company A in a year .

SO , production of A = \(\frac{100 }{86.75}\) × 130

= 149.85 lakh  tonnes  

= 150 lakh tonnes  ( approx )

By carefully observing the chart . we find that production of company A in year 2019 is also 150 lakh tonnes.

Ans :-  2019
