(a)1
(b)2
(c)3

(e)None of these
Answer
Answer (as printed): D
Explanation
Clearly, Export > Import only when $\frac{\text { Import }}{\text { Export }}<1$. From the graph it is clear that the above ratio is less than 1 in the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010. Thus (Imports : Exports) < 1 in four years.
