What was the approximate total import of energy in 2010?
Explanation:
Note that “nuclear energy” and “others” has not been imported.
From Chart 1, the consumption of coal, crude oil, natural gas and hydro electricity are 540, 290, 80 and 50 MTOE respectively.
From Chart 2, for the year 2010, the corresponding growth rates in consumption are 15%, 10%, 5% and 10% respectively.
And from Chart 3, for the year 2010, the corresponding percentages of imports are 25%, 50%, 50% and 5% respectively.
∴ The total import of energy in the year 2010 = 540 × 1.15 × 0.25 + 290 × 1.1 × 0.5 + 80 × 1.05 × 0.5 + 50 × 1.1 × 0.05
= 359.5 MTOE
Hence, option (c).
