Consider the following table for total exports of goods of 5 companies over 5 years (in lakhs).

| Companies | R | S | T | U | V |
|-----------|----|----|----|-----|-----|
| Year | | | | | |
| 2012 | 60 | 40 | 15 | 45 | 25 |
| 2013 | 30 | 60 | 70 | 15 | 90 |
| 2014 | 51 | 25 | 55 | 100 | 110 |
| 2015 | 45 | 51 | 20 | 70 | 65 |
| 2016 | 24 | 35 | 60 | 55 | 125 |

If the ratio of exports to the imports of companies S and U in the year 2015 is 3 : 2 and 1 : 2, respectively, then, the total imports (in ₹ lakhs) of companies S and U together in the year 2015 is:

Question

Consider the following table for total exports of goods of 5 companies over 5 years (in lakhs).

| Companies | R  | S  | T  | U   | V   |
|-----------|----|----|----|-----|-----|
| Year      |    |    |    |     |     |
| 2012      | 60 | 40 | 15 | 45  | 25  |
| 2013      | 30 | 60 | 70 | 15  | 90  |
| 2014      | 51 | 25 | 55 | 100 | 110 |
| 2015      | 45 | 51 | 20 | 70  | 65  |
| 2016      | 24 | 35 | 60 | 55  | 125 |

If the ratio of exports to the imports of companies S and U in the year 2015 is 3 : 2 and 1 : 2, respectively, then, the total imports (in ₹ lakhs) of companies S and U together in the year 2015 is:

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Extract the exports for companies S and U in 2015 from the table.
- Exports of S in 2015 = 51 lakhs
- Exports of U in 2015 = 70 lakhs

Step 2: Use the given export-to-import ratios to find imports.
- For S, ratio of exports to imports = 3 : 2  
  Let imports of S = x  
  Then, exports/imports = 3/2 => 51/x = 3/2 => x = (51 * 2) / 3 = 34 lakhs

- For U, ratio of exports to imports = 1 : 2
  Let imports of U = y    
  Then, exports/imports = 1/2 => 70/y = 1/2 => y = 70 * 2 = 140 lakhs

Step 3: Calculate total imports of S and U together = 34 + 140 = 174 lakhs

Therefore, the total imports of companies S and U together in 2015 is ₹174 lakhs.
