| 2000-2001 | 800 | 420 | 440 | 300 |

In 2002-2003, the percentage increase in the production of barley as compared to the previous year was:
Option 1: 14.20%
Option 2: 17.85%
Option 3: 18.75%
Option 4: 7.90%
Correct Answer: 18.75%
Solution :
Barley production in 2002–2003 = 380 million tonnes
The previous year's production of barley = 320 million tonnes
Increase in percentage = $\frac{\text{Current year – Previous year}}{\text{Previous year}}×100$
= $\frac{380-320}{320}×100$
= $\frac{60}{320}×100$
= 18.75%
Hence, the correct answer is 18.75%.
