Disclaimer: NTA forgot to print the common data for Questions 25–27 in the candidate response sheet. We reverse-engineered the data based on student memory, so the table below is not the original NTA data. | Year | Steel production | |---|---:| | 2017 | 238 | | 2018 | 267 | | 2019 | 301 | | 2020 | 346 | | 2021 | 382 | | 2022 | 393 | | 2023 | 438 | | 2024 | 471 |

✅ Correct Option: 3

Total production is $238+267+301+346+382+393+438+471=2836$. Average production: $\dfrac{2836}{8}=354.5$. The values above 354.5 are 382, 393, 438 and 471, corresponding to 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Therefore, 4 years are above the average.

Question 26

The percent change in production of steel is minimum for which of the following pair of years?

Question 27

The increase in production of steel in 2023 over the preceding year is how many times compared to the increase in production of steel in 2021 over its preceding year?
