Year Rice Wheat Maize Barley
1998-2000 181 50 35 26
2003-2005 167 44 39 17
2008-2015 169 38 49 25
2013-2015 150 45 51 21
2018-2020 147 54 63 24
Options:

1998-2000 and 2008-2010

2008-2010 and 2013-2015

2003-2005 and 2013-2015

1998-2000 and 2003-2005

Correct Answer:

2003-2005 and 2013-2015

Explanation:

Lets solve one by one for each option.

1. 1998-2000 and 2008-2010

Combined consumption in 1998-2000 = 181 + 50 + 35 + 26 = 292

Combined consumption in 2008 - 2010  = 169 + 38 + 49 + 25 = 281

Combined consumption of both the years is not same .

2. 2008-2010 and 2013-2015

Combined consumption in 2008 - 2010  = 169 + 38 + 49 + 25 = 281

Combined consumption in 2013 - 2015 = 150 + 45 + 51 + 21 = 267

Combined consumption of both the years is not same .

3. 2003-2005 and 2013-2015

Combined consumption in 2013 - 2015 = 150 + 45 + 51 + 21 = 267

Combined consumption in 2003-2005 = 167 + 44 + 39 + 17 = 267

Combined consumption of both the years is same .

4. 1998-2000 and 2003-2005

Combined consumption in 1998-2000 = 181 + 50 + 35 + 26 = 292

Combined consumption in 2003-2005 = 167 + 44 + 39 + 17 = 267

Combined consumption of both the years is not same .

Ans :- 2003-2005 and 2013-2015
