- C2011 & 2012
- D2014 & 2015
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's calculate the total exports for each year:
2011: 1000+3000+1000=5000
2012: 4000+5000+4000=13000
2013: 5000+2000+4000=11000
2014: 5000+5000+1000=11000
2015: 5000+3000+1000=9000
Comparing the total values, the exports are equal for the years 2013 and 2014 (both are 11000 lakh rupees).
2011: 1000+3000+1000=5000
2012: 4000+5000+4000=13000
2013: 5000+2000+4000=11000
2014: 5000+5000+1000=11000
2015: 5000+3000+1000=9000
Comparing the total values, the exports are equal for the years 2013 and 2014 (both are 11000 lakh rupees).
