• A. $1200$
• B. $1500$
• C. $2500$
• D. $4500$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $1500$

From the histogram, the maintenance cost in the year:

$1995-1996$ is Rs. $2000$

$1996-1997$ is Rs. $3000$

$1997-1998$ is Rs. $1500$

$1998-1999$ is Rs. $2500$

$1999-2000$ is Rs. $4850$

$2000-2001$ is Rs. $5000$

$2001-2002$ is Rs. $7200$.

Then, the maintenance cost decreased in $1996-1997$ when compared to $1997-1998=3000-1500=1500$ rupees.

Hence, option $B$ is correct.
