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%.
