Increase/Decrease
(Hectare) in 2009
Bajra 1.4 × 103 – 100
Jowar 1.7 × 106 – 440,000
Rice 3.7 × 103 – 100

Solution

a. The production decreased for Bajra, Jowar and Rice.

b. Production of Bajra in 2009

= 1.4 × 103 – 100

= 1400 – 100

= 1300

= 1.3 × 103 hectares

Production of Jowar in 2009

= 1.7 × 106 – 440,000

= 1,700,000 – 440,000

= 1,260,000

= 1.26 × 106 hectares

Production of Rice in 2009

= 3.7 × 103 – 100

= 3700 – 100

= 3600

= 3.6 × 103 hectares

Production of Wheat in 2009

= 5.1 × 105 + 190,000

= 510,000 + 190,000

= 700,000

= 7 × 105 hectares

c. Production of Rice in 2015

= (3600 – 600) hectares

= 3000 hectares

= 3.0 × 103 hectares
