Answer 1

The correct option is A

(A)$\to$ 25$\%$; (B) $\to$ 18; (C)$\to$ 18$\%$

(A) Required percentage $=\frac{25000-20000}{20000}\times 100=25\%\left(more\right)$
(B) Total production of rose by all the states = 142250
$\therefore$ Average $=\frac{142250}{8}\approx 18thousand$
(C) Required percentage
$=\frac{25}{142.25}\times 100=17.6\%\approx 18\%$
