Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept: To find a quantity that is half of a reference value, divide the reference value by 2. Then match that target value with the relevant row of the table.
This converts the verbal comparison into a numerical target before the table is searched.
Application
The LCD production in 2010 is 12,000 units.
Half of 12,000 is 12,000 ÷ 2 = 6,000 units.
In the TV row, 6,000 units correspond to the year 2006.
Cross-check
Twice 6,000 is 12,000, which matches the LCD production in 2010. Therefore, the required year is 2006.
