Question

In which month was there the maximum percentage change (over the previous month) in monthly sale of Low-sulphur diesel fuel to commercial/Institutional consumers in 2003 in US?

• A. February
• B. April
• C. September
• D. October

Answer 1

The correct option is A February

In February, percentage change = $\frac{17.90}{96.7}$ $\times$ 100 = 18.7 % (approx)

In April, percentage change = $\frac{17.32}{113.2}$ $\times$ 100 = 17% (approx)

Hence, maximum percentage change will be in February.
