Question : Directions: Study the following graph and answer the questions based on it.
Production of fertilizers by a company (in 10000 tonnes over the years 1995–2002)
In which year was the percentage increase in production, as compared to the previous year, the maximum?
Option 1: 2002
Option 2: 2001
Option 3: 1996
Option 4: 1997
Correct Answer: 1996
Solution :
Based on the given bar graph in question,
The production of fertilizer in the year 1995 = 25
The production of fertilizer in the year 1996 = 40
Increase = 40 − 25 = 15
⇒ In the year 1996, percentage increase = $\frac{15}{25} \times 100 = 60\%$
The production of fertilizer in the year 1996 = 40
The production of fertilizer in the year 1997 = 60
Increase = 60 − 40 = 20
⇒ In the year 1997, percentage increase = $\frac{20}{40} \times 100 = 50\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 1996.
