Solution:

Imports in 2012 = Rs. 900 crores
Let Exports in 2012 = Rs. y crores
Ratio of imports and exports in 2012 = 1.1
⇒

900/y=1.1

⇒

y =900/1.1= 818.18

Total exports In the years 2012 and 2013 together = Rs. 2800 crores
⇒ Exports in 2013 = Rs. (2800 - 818.18) crores = Rs. 1981.82 crores
Let imports in 2013 = Rs. x crores
Ratio of imports and exports in 2013 =

x/1981.82 = 0.7

⇒

x = 1981.82 × 0.7 = 1387.274 ≈ 1387

∴ Imports in 2013 was Rs. 1387 crores
