Solution
Understanding the set :-
This graph shows how much rainfall 16 Indian states received between June and August 2019, and whether that amount was more or less than usual.
Since, it's a DI question ,the most important part of the set will be to get a clear understanding of the graph.
- So, Let's see what the chart shows -
a) The horizontal axis (bottom line) tells us how much rain (in millimeters) each state received during those three months.
b) The vertical axis (side line) shows how much more or less rain they got compared to their average rainfall, called the Long Period Average (LPA).
- If a state is:
a) Above the 0% line: it got more rain than usual.
b) Below the 0% line: it got less rain than usual.
Each dot is a state, and next to it, the actual rainfall amount (in mm) is written.
Now , let's go to the questions and solve them.
The actual rainfall in Gujarat in 2019 is 20% more than the rainfall in 2009.
So If the actual rainfall in 2009 = x mm
Then the actual rainfall in 2019= 1.2x mm.
Actual rainfall in 2019= 600mm
Then, actual rainfall in 2009 = 500mm
As deviation is +25%
so average 2009 - 2018 is LPA 2019
=
