- C2011 & 2012
- D2014 & 2011
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's calculate the total exports for each year:
2011: 1000+4000+3000=8000
2012: 2000+4000+3000=9000
2013: 4000+1000+1000=6000
2014: 4000+2000+2000=8000
2015: 5000+1000+1000=7000
Comparing the sums:
The total exports in 2011 (8000) and 2014 (8000) are equal.
2011: 1000+4000+3000=8000
2012: 2000+4000+3000=9000
2013: 4000+1000+1000=6000
2014: 4000+2000+2000=8000
2015: 5000+1000+1000=7000
Comparing the sums:
The total exports in 2011 (8000) and 2014 (8000) are equal.
