   17%
   12%
   14%
   18%
   10%
   Option D
   Total production of rice in two years by state C = 65 lakh tonnes
   Total production of rice by all the five stated together in two years = 360 lakh tonnes
   Required% = 65/360*100 = 18%

   5:3
   4:5
   1:3
   5:7
   2:3
   Option B
   Average production in 2015 = 160/5 = 32 lakh tonnes
   Average production in 2016 = 200/5 = 40 lakh tonnes
   Required ratio = 32:40 = 4:5
