If the imports of Company A in 1997 were increased by 40 percent, what would be the ratio of exports to the increased imports?

1.20

1.25

1.30

cannot be determined

Answer : Option B

Explanation :

In 1997 for Company A we have:

\( \frac { E } { I } \)= 1.75 i.e., E = 1.75I

where E amount of exports, I = amount of imports of Company A in 1997.

Now, the required imports I₁ = I + 40% of I = 1.4I.

Required ratio = \( \frac { E } { I1 } \)= \( \frac { 1.75I } { 1.4I} \) = 1.25
