The question says comparison of the countries whose level of production does not change­ in the two years. So, include those that have 0 both years.

You add China and Brazil's total reserve and compare it to the added total of the other countries. If it's greater, than it's over half and the answer's true.

1 . Australia had a percentage increase of 33.33 , followed by china. Yes

2. Trap! Firstly sort the last column , then check canada had lowest reserves which had same production both 2016 & 2017 (0 tons) . No (its not malaysia)

3. Simply calculate ( brazil + china )/total i.e. > 50 % Yes.

I understand the solutions of the above problems. But I want to know in the 3rd question, are we expected to sum all the values during the exam time? If we do it with calculator or manual, it is gonna take much time. How can we save time here?

yeah some are observations but in this case you cant be so sure without calculation so it will take 1.5 mins to get to this that makes total 3 min for this question.
I expect to allocate 3-4 min to a med- diff level question and 1-2 to a easy- med ques.
