The table given below was published in yesterday’s newspaper, representing some data about our country
for the past five years. Because of the low standard ink used to print that table some of the data was not
clear and hence those cells are marked with ‘?’ in the following table:

Year Imports Domestic Domestic Net domestic Net domestic

Also, it is given that,

Net domestic production = Net domestic availability – Import

Required difference between the marks = 60 million tonnes
