In this section a special emphasis needed to be given on understanding the chart and the data presented as opposed to doing fast calculation. As the previous year this pattern is likely to continue in coming years as well.
Example:
Production of Rice and Wheat
| (In millions of Tonnes) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year | Rice | Wheat | Percentage of Wheat to Rice |
| 1950-51 | 20.58 | 6.46 | 31.4 |
| 1960-61 | 34.58 | 11.00 | 31.8 |

| 1994-95 | 81.81 | 65.77 | 80.4 |
| 1995-96 | 79.62 | 62.62 | 78.6 |
1. The above table indicates the performance in India in rice and wheat production from 1950-51 to 1995-96. Which of the following conclusions arrived at from the above table would be valid?
1. Record production of rice as well as wheat has been in 1994-95
2. The ratio of wheat to rice production seems to have steadily increased over 16 years
3. Wheat has not been popular among the Indian population before 1980.
4. India became self-sufficient in rice and wheat only after 1990.
