Answer
X > Y > Z
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 Andhra Pradesh during 2019 – 20 is X = 21% of 50,00,000 ⇒ 10,50,000 Total fish production in Assam during 2020 – 21 is Y = 15% of 60,00,000 ⇒ 9,00,000 Total fish production in Kerala during 2019 – 20 is Z = 12% of 50,00,000 ⇒ 6,00,000 So, X = 10,50,000, Y = 9,00,000 and Z = 6,00,000 ∴ X > Y > Z
