Foreign Exchange Reserves Of a Country. (in million US $)
1.
The ratio of the number of years, in which the foreign exchange reserves are above the average reserves, to those in which the reserves are below the average reserves is?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Average foreign exchange reserves over the given period = 3480 million US $.
The country had reserves above 3480 million US $ during the years 1992-93, 1996-97 and 1997-98, i.e., for 3 years and below 3480 million US $ during the years 1991-92, 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-56 and 1998-99 i.e., for 5 years.
Hence, required ratio = 3 : 5.

Usually, we will find the average by adding all elements and divide by the number of elements, by doing so we got 3480.
Then, check-in table to below this average and above average you will get below in 5 years and above in 3 years.

Average foreign exchange reserves over the given period =
(2640+3720+2520+3360+3120+4320+5040+3120)/8= 3480 million US $.

The answer follows.
We have.
(2640+3720+2520+3360+3120+4320+5040+3120) /8=3480.
As per graph 3 country reserves are above ratio (ans is 3).
Now again 5 Country reserves are below average.
Then Ratio between Above avg: Below avg is. 3:5.
