Answer

7,60,000

Why?

Given: Total Fish Production during 2019 – 20 in all six states = 50,00,000 tonnes Total Fish Production during 2020 – 21 in all six states = 60,00,000 tonnes Calculation: Total fish production in Gujarat, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh together during 2020 – 21 = (16% + 15% + 20%) of 60,00,000 ⇒ 51% of 60,00,000 ⇒ 30,60,000 The total fish production in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Assam together during 2019 – 20 = (16% + 12%+ 18%) of 50,00,000 ⇒ 46% of 50,00,000 ⇒ 23,00,000 ∴ The required difference = (30,60,000 – 23,00,000) ⇒ 7,60,000
