Correct Answer: 60%


Solution : Production of company Y in 1996 = 25 (in lakh tonnes)
Production of company Y in 1999 = 40 (in lakh tonnes)
Increment in production = 40–25 = 15 (in lakh tonnes)
Percentage increased = $\frac{\text{Increment in production}}{\text{Previous production}}$ × 100
= $\frac{15}{25}$ × 100
= 60%
Hence, the correct answer is 60%.
