Answer 1

The correct option is D Shampoos

The percentage increase from 1995 to 2000 for various products are:
Lipsticks =[(48.17−20.15)20.15×100]=[(48.17−20.15)20.15×100]% = 139.06%
Nail enamels =[(37.76−5.93)5.93×100]=[(37.76−5.93)5.93×100]% = 536.76%
Talcum powder =[(29.14−14.97)14.97×100]=[(29.14−14.97)14.97×100]% = 94.66%
Shampoos =[(12.21−7.88)7.88×100]=[(12.21−7.88)7.88×100]% = 54.95% ≈≈ 55%
Conditioners =[(10.19−5.01)5.01×100]=[(10.19−5.01)5.01×100]% = 103.39%
