- B2013 & 2015
- C2011 & 2012
- D2014 & 2015
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's calculate the total exports for each year by summing the values for Companies A, B, and C:
Total Exports in 2011: 2000+2000+3000=7000
Total Exports in 2012: 2000+3000+2000=7000
Total Exports in 2013: 5000+1000+5000=11000
Total Exports in 2014: 2000+5000+3000=10000
Total Exports in 2015: 1000+2000+3000=6000
Comparing the total exports, the sum is equal for the pair of years 2011 & 2012 (both equal to 7000 lakh rupees).
Total Exports in 2011: 2000+2000+3000=7000
Total Exports in 2012: 2000+3000+2000=7000
Total Exports in 2013: 5000+1000+5000=11000
Total Exports in 2014: 2000+5000+3000=10000
Total Exports in 2015: 1000+2000+3000=6000
Comparing the total exports, the sum is equal for the pair of years 2011 & 2012 (both equal to 7000 lakh rupees).
