Answer 1

The correct option is A 2009

In company T the percentage increase is as follows:-
In 2005,
$=\frac{180-148}{148}\times 100=\frac{32}{180}\times 100=21.62\%$
Similarly, the percentage increase
In 2006,
$=\frac{212-180}{180}\times 100=\frac{32}{180}\times 100=17.77\%$
In 2007, $=\frac{263-212}{212}\times 100=\frac{51}{212}\times 100=24.05\%$
In 2008, $=\frac{310-263}{263}\times 100=\frac{4700}{263}=17.83\%$
In 2009, $=\frac{396-310}{310}\times 100=\frac{8600}{310}=27.74\%$
Hence, in 2009 the percentage increases is the highest.
