When comparing both the graph if import > export then its deficit.

Deficit= sum of export - sum of import.
=25625-36911 = 11286 deficit.
Hence answer is B.

If total import > total export then deficit.

Total export > total import then surplus.

Surplus = I<E.

Deficit = I>E.

Deficit means less than enough and surplus means more than necessary so we can say surplus only happen when I<E and vise versa.

How can I simply this question? Adding so many values can waste a lot of time.

Please explain the concept of surplus and deficit. Also the scale for both the graphs is different.

For each company say "A". Since export is more than import in this case, therefore it is surplus for the company i.e = 92-87 = 5.

So, if export > import, it is surplus else it is deficit. :).
