Explanatory Answer
Method of solving this CAT DILR Question from Line Chart & Bar Chart question
(b) Since the index of total industrial production in 1994 is 50 percent more than in 1989, it becomes 150.
Total weightage for manufacturing, mining and quarrying, electrical and chemical in 1994 is approximately 75.57. So
Production of other sectors = 150 – 75.57 = 74.43.
In 1989, it was 100 – 60 = 40.
