Official Solution:
Drop-down 1:
According to the graph, the average R&D expenditure for the state of Maharashtra was approximately 1,400 million, while for the state of Orissa it was slightly more than half of 200 million, approximately 130-150 million. Thus, the expenditure in Maharashtra was approximately 9-10 times that in Orissa.
Drop-down 2:
From the graph, only 2 states, Maharashtra and Old Uttar Pradesh, out of the 16 shown, have an average expenditure greater than 800 million. Thus, the percentage of states shown in the graph with an average expenditure greater than that of the entire country is \(\frac{2}{16}*100=12.5\%\).
Correct answer:
Dropdown 1: "9"
Dropdown 2: "12.5%"
