The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
To find the maximum percentage of apples supplied by any state in any of the months, we first need to compute the percentage of apples supplied by each state in each month.
For each month, the formula for the percentage of apples supplied by a state is:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Apples from State}}{\text{Total Apples}} \right) \times 100
\]
Let's calculate the percentage for the month of April, as an example:
- In April, the total apples = 73 tonnes
- HP supplied 7 tonnes, so the percentage supplied by HP in April is:
\[
\left( \frac{7}{73} \right) \times 100 \approx 9.59%
\]
After performing similar calculations for each month and state, we find that the highest percentage is 99%, which was the percentage of apples supplied by UP in September.
Thus, the maximum percentage supplied by any state is 99%.

Using the data in question 150, if there were 250 trees per hectare, then how many hectares of land was used?
Show Hint
When calculating land area, divide the total number of trees by the number of trees per hectare to get the total hectares.

- 9,400 hectares
- 49,900 hectares
- 50,000 hectares
- 49,450 hectares
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Using the total number of trees (12.5 million) and the number of trees per hectare (250), we can calculate the total hectares of land used as follows:
\[
\text{Hectares} = \frac{\text{Total trees}}{\text{Trees per hectare}} = \frac{12,500,000}{250} = 49,450 \text{ hectares}
\]
Thus, 49,450 hectares were used to grow the apples.
