Instructions: ans the ques. 68 to 70 on the basis of the data provided in 2 charts.
Sodium carbonate, also called as soda ash is an important ingredient for glass, soaps and
detergents, and many other products. There were 2 ways of producing soda ash. The 1st is
producing soda ash from trona found naturally. The 2nd method was producing soda ash
from common salt through Solvay process. Soda ash produced thus was called synthetic soda ash.
Tata Chemicals was 1 of largest producers of soda ash. provided beneath are 2 charts- 1st chart
indicates production of 2 varieties of soda ash in the world.

68. It was expected that global soda ash production would be identical for 2006, 2007 and 2008 (only
for this question). What could be a possible cause for various trends of production in Tata
Chemicals and the words?
A. Tata Chemicals build new plants of 2.2 MT natural soda ash capacity in 2007.
B. Tata Chemicals build 3.2 MT of natural soda ash capacity from 2005 to 2008.
C. Tata Chemicals produced 2.7% of total soda ash in the world.
D. Tata Chemicals might have acquired 0.3 MT of natural soda ash facility in 2007.
E. None of above conclusions could possibly be drawn
69. Suppose the total global production increased (year on year) from 2005 to 2008 by the amount
Tata Chemicals
synthetic production (year on year) increased in the identical period. By what
percentage did the total global production increase from 2007 to 2008?
