Explanation:

Let the wheat grown in the country be x million tons.

Consumption in the country = (Wheat produced – wheat lost) + Import

∴ Consumption  initially = (w – 10% of w) + 2 = 0.9w + 2

∴ Consumption  finally = (w – 6% of w) + 1 = 0.94 + 1

⇒ 0.9x + 2 = 0.94x + 1 

⇒ 0.04x = 1

⇒ x =1/0.04= 25 million tons

Alternately,
Due to reduction in wastage from 10% to 6% (i.e., 4% reduction) the country imports 1 mn tons less.

⇒ 4% of wheat production = 1 mn tons

⇒  4/100 × wheat production = 1 mn tons

⇒ wheat production = 100/4 = 25 mn tons.

Hence, option (d).
