CAT 2025 Set-3 | Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning | Question: 4

Question

Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.

Three countries - Pumpland ($\mathrm{P}$), Xiland ($\mathrm{X}$) and Cheeseland ($\mathrm{C}$) - trade among themselves and with the (other countries in) Rest of World (ROW). All trade volumes are given in IC (international currency). The following terminology is used:

• Trade balance $=$ Exports $-$ Imports
• Total trade $=$ Exports $+$ Imports
• Normalized trade balance $=$ Trade balance $/$ Total trade, expressed in percentage terms

The following information is known.

1. The normalized trade balances of $\mathrm{P}$, $\mathrm{X}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ are $0\%, 10\%,$ and $-20\%,$ respectively.
2. $40\%$ of exports of $\mathrm{X}$ are to $\mathrm{P}$. $22\%$ of imports of $\mathrm{P}$ are from $\mathrm{X}$.
3. $90\% $of exports of $\mathrm{C}$ are to $\mathrm{P}$; $4\%$ are to ROW.
4. $12\%$ of exports of ROW are to $\mathrm{X}$, $40\%$ are to $\mathrm{P}$.
5. The export volumes of $\mathrm{P}$, in IC, to $\mathrm{X}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ are $600$ and $1200$, respectively. $\mathrm{P}$ is the only country that exports to $\mathrm{C}$.

What is the trade balance of ROW?

• A. $100$
• B. $0$
• C. $-200$
• D. $200$
