Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the year with the minimum value per tin, we need to calculate the ratio of Value (in Crore Rs.) to Quantity (in Lakh Tins) for each year provided in the graph.

1. Extract Data and Calculate Ratios:

   • 1983: Value = 150, Quantity = 100. Ratio = 150 / 100 = 1.5

   • 1984: Value = 150, Quantity = 75. Ratio = 150 / 75 = 2.0

   • 1985: Value = 330, Quantity = 150. Ratio = 330 / 150 = 2.2

   • 1986: Value = 400, Quantity = 160. Ratio = 400 / 160 = 2.5

   • 1987: Value = 500, Quantity = 200. Ratio = 500 / 200 = 2.5

2. Compare Results: Comparing the calculated ratios (1.5, 2.0, 2.2, 2.5, 2.5), the minimum value is 1.5, which corresponds to the year 1983.
