The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Concept: If the ratio of Exports to Imports \(> 1\), then exports are greater than imports.
Step 1: Check ratios for Company A.
- 1995 → 1.75 (>1) \(\checkmark\)
- 1996 → 1.5 (>1) \(\checkmark\)
- 1997 → 1.75 (>1) \(\checkmark\)
- 1998 → 0.75 (<1) $\times$
- 1999 → 0.75 (<1) $\times$
- 2000 → 1 (=1, not greater) $\times$
Step 2: Count valid years.
\[ 1995,\ 1996,\ 1997 \Rightarrow 3\ {years} \]
Hence, exports were greater than imports in 3 years.

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
\[
{Ratio} = \frac{{Exports}}{{Imports}}
\Rightarrow {Imports} = \frac{{Exports}}{{Ratio}}
\]
Step 1: Find ratio for Company A in 1998.
From graph: \[ {Ratio} = 0.75 \]
Step 2: Use given exports.
\[ {Exports} = 237 \]
Step 3: Find imports.
\[ {Imports} = \frac{237}{0.75} = \frac{237}{\frac{3}{4}} = 237 \times \frac{4}{3} = 79 \times 4 = 316 \]
Hence, the imports were Rs.316 crores.
Step 1: Find ratio for Company A in 1998.
From graph: \[ {Ratio} = 0.75 \]
Step 2: Use given exports.
\[ {Exports} = 237 \]
Step 3: Find imports.
\[ {Imports} = \frac{237}{0.75} = \frac{237}{\frac{3}{4}} = 237 \times \frac{4}{3} = 79 \times 4 = 316 \]
Hence, the imports were Rs.316 crores.

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Concept: If the ratio of Exports to Imports \(< 1\), then imports are greater than exports.
Step 1: Check ratios for Company B.
- 1995 → 0.75 (<1) \(\checkmark\)
- 1996 → 0.75 (<1) \(\checkmark\)
- 1997 → 1 (=1, not greater) $\times$
- 1998 → 1.25 (>1) $\times$
- 1999 → 1 (=1) $\times$
- 2000 → 1.25 (>1) $\times$
Step 2: Count valid years.
\[ 1995,\ 1996 \Rightarrow 2\ {years} \]
Hence, imports were greater than exports in 2 years.
