Question

• A. 1997
• B. 1998
• C. 1999
• D. 2000
• E. 2001

Answer 1

The correct option is D

2000

The difference between the productions, of Companies X and Y in various years are

For 1997 = (139000 - 119000) = 20000

For 1998 = (120000 - 99000) = 21000

For 1999 = (141000 - 100000) = 41000

For 2000 = (128000 - 78000) = 50000

For 2001 = (120000 - 107000) = 13000

For 2002 = (159000 - 148000) = 11000

Clearly, maximum difference was in 2000.
