Step-by-Step Solution

To answer these questions, we analyze the bar chart showing Quantity (in Lakh Tins) and Value (in Crore Rs.) for India's Biscuit Exports.

1. Question 1: In which year was the value per tin the minimum? The value per tin is calculated as: (Value in Crore Rs.) / (Quantity in Lakh Tins).

   • 1983: 150 / 100 = 1.5

   • 1984: 150 / 75 = 2.0

   • 1985: 330 / 150 = 2.2

   • 1986: 400 / 160 = 2.5

   • 1987: 500 / 200 = 2.5 The minimum value per tin is 1.5, which occurred in 1983.

2. Question 2: If in 1986 tins were exported at the same rate per tin as in 1985, what would be the value of exports in 1986?

   • Calculate the rate in 1985: Value / Quantity = 330 / 150 = 2.2 Crore Rs. per Lakh Tin.

   • Apply this rate to the quantity in 1986:

   • Quantity in 1986 = 160 Lakh Tins.

   • New Value in 1986 = 160 * 2.2 = 352 Crore Rs.
