Study the following line graph carefully and answer the given question based on it.
For how many years the percent rise in production is more than the percent rise in production of previous year?

• A. $6$
• B. $7$
• C. $4$
• D. $5$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $5$

Average of the percent rise over the given years $=\frac{40+50+40+120+100+120+130+140}{8}=92.5\%$

In years $2000,2002,2004,2005$ and $2006$ percent rise is more than the previous year.

For $5$ years, the percent rise was more than the average of the percent rise over the given years.
