Find in which year was the percentage increase in production was maximum as compared to the previous year.

• A. $2002$
• B. $2001$
• C. $1999$
• D. $1996$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$1996$

In the above graph, the only year 1996,1997, 1999,2001 & 2002- production is increased as compared to the previous year.

And in the years 1996,1997, 1999- production is more and equally increased in tonnes terms as compared to the previous year. and in 1996 production is doubled as compared to previous year, i.e. $100$ increase in production.

% increase in production$=$increase in production$\times 100/$production of previous year

% increase in production$=20\times \frac{100}{20}=100$
