Wheat production in 2017 = 9,48,000 tonnes
Wheat production in 2015 = 9,64,000 tonnes
Percentage decrease in wheat production in 2018 = 10%
Formula used:
Production in 2018 = Production in 2017 × (1 - Decrease percentage)
Difference in production = Production in 2018 - Production in 2015
Calculations:
Production in 2018 = 9,48,000 × (1 - 10/100)
⇒ Production in 2018 = 9,48,000 × 0.9
⇒ Production in 2018 = 8,53,200 tonnes
Difference in production = 9,64,000 - 8,53,200
⇒ Difference in production = 1,10,800 tonnes
∴ The correct answer is option (2) 1,10,800.
