Correct Answer: 457.1


Solution : Given:
Production of cement by company C in 2018 = 350 million tonnes
Production of cement by company C in 2019 = 400 million tonnes
Now,
Percentage increase of production from 2018 to 2019 = $\frac{400\ -\ 350}{350}\times 100= 14.28\%$
Production of cement by company C increased by the same percentage in 2020.
Production of cement by company C in 2020 = $400\ \times \frac{100\ +\ 14.28}{100}\ =\ 457.1$ million tonnes
Hence, the correct answer is 457.1 million tonnes.
