Correct Answer: 126%


Solution : As per the given graph:
In the year 1987,
The rate of inflation in the Third World = 36.2
The rate of inflation in the World = 16
The change in the rate of inflation in the year 1987 for the Third World and the World = $\frac{36.2-16}{16}×100$
= $\frac{20.2}{16}×100$ = 126.25%
The change in the rate of inflation in the year 1987 for the Third World and the World $\approx$ 126%.
Hence, the correct answer is 126%.
