Solution

The correct option is C The absolute increase in Jains of village A is higher than that of Muslims in village B over the said period.
Here, the absolute increase in population = population in 2013 - population in 2012. Thus the absolute increase in population of Jains in village A = 1200 - 1135 = 65, which is higher than the absolute increase of Muslim population (60) in village B.
