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.
