Answer 1

Britain used this surplus to balance trade deficit with other countries.  Food grains and raw material exports from India to Britain and the rest of the world increased. But the value of British exports to India was much higher than the value of British imports from India. Thus, Britain had a 'trade surplus' with India.

Answer 2

the value of import from britain to india was higher than the value of export from india to britain

this helped britishers to balance the trade deficit from other countries
