Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 1993.

Given that

The sum of cars of types P and Q and of types R and S in 1989 = 8 + 16  and 21 + 4 = 24 and 25 respectively 

Similarly for year 1990 = 30 and 23

For 1991 = 30 and 17

For 1992 = 29 and 31

For 1993 = 33 and 33

Hence, for 1993, the total production of cars of types P and Q together equals the total production of cars of types R and S together.
