1 .
 Answer : Option C Explanation : Reqd % = $95\over 89 + 95 + 40 + 38 + 30 + 120 + 38$= $95\over 450$ x 100 = 21.10 % $\cong$ 21 %
2 .
 Answer : Option D Explanation : Production of cotton in MP = 33 × $40\over 100$ = 13.2 lakh tonnesProduction of jowar = 52.8 lakh tonnes Reqd % = $13.2 \over 52.8$ x 100 = 25 %
3 .
 Answer : Option A Explanation : Production of vegetables in UP = 28 x $40\over 100$ = 11.2 lakh tonnesProduction of pulses = 20 lakh tonnesReqd ratio = $200\over 112$ = 25 : 14
