Given:

The table below shows the production of different types of caps (in thousands) in different years.

Type of Cap/Year

Type of Cap/Year 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
M 576 896 287 896 884
N 560 753 473 560 637
Q 586 637 576 753 678
R 778 780 560 780 678

Formula used:

To find the year where the production of Cap Q is equal to that of Cap R.

Calculation:

Checking each year:

2008: Q = 586, R = 778

2009: Q = 637, R = 780

2010: Q = 576, R = 560

2011: Q = 753, R = 780

2012: Q = 678, R = 678

⇒ In the year 2012, the production of Cap Q (678) is equal to that of Cap R (678).

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
