The production of Rice, Wheat, and Sugarcane together exceeds the production of Maize and Pulses by what ratio?

A) 2 : 1 B) 3 : 1 C) 4 : 1 D) 5 : 2 E) 7 : 3

Solution

Step 1: Rice + Wheat + Sugarcane = 108 + 90 + 72 = 270
Maize + Pulses = 54 + 36 = 90

Step 2: “A exceeds B by what ratio” → (A − B) : B

(270 − 90) : 90 → 180 : 90
Step 3: Ratio (exceeds means ratio of totals) 180 : 90 = 2 : 1
