Which of the following export commodities registered increasing trends from 2009-10 to 2010-11?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Manufactured goods and crude and petroleum products
Compare each commodity from 2009-10 to 2010-11:
- Agriculture and allied products: 10.0 → 9.9 (fall)
- Ore and Minerals: 4.9 → 4.0 (fall)
- Manufactured goods: 67.4 → 68.0 (rise)
- Crude and petroleum products: 16.2 → 16.8 (rise)
- Other Commodities: 1.5 → 1.2 (fall)
Only manufactured goods and crude and petroleum products went up. Every other option has at least one commodity that fell.
