Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e 3 : 2

Export of item A in 2014 = Rs. 425 crores

Export of item A in 2015 = Rs. 400 crores

Total exports of A in 2014 & 2015 = 425 + 400 = Rs. 825 crores

Export of item C in 2011 = Rs. 244 crores

Export of item C in 2015 = Rs. 306 crores

Total exports of C in 2011 & 2015 = 244 + 306 = Rs. 550 crores

Required ratio = 825 / 550 = 3 / 2
