The given table shows the consumption of grains (in kilograms)by a village per day over the given set of year. Study the table and answer the following question. For which set of years (in options) is the combined consumption per day equal to that for the other set of years?
| 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 |
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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
