Correct Answer: 2017


Solution : Production of cars by Y in 2016 = 25
Production of cars by Y in 2017 = 35
Percentage increase from the previous year = $\frac{\text{Production of current year – Production of previous year}}{\text{Production of previous year}}\times100$
= $\frac{35-25}{25}\times100=40$%
Production of cars by Y in 2018 = 35
Percentage increase from the previous year = $\frac{\text{Production of current year – Production of previous year}}{\text{Production of previous year}}\times100$
= $\frac{35-35}{35}\times100=0$%
Production of cars by Y in 2019 = 40
Percentage increase from the previous year = $\frac{\text{Production of current year – Production of previous year}}{\text{Production of previous year}}\times100$
= $\frac{40-35}{35}\times100=14.28$%
Production of cars by Y in 2020 = 50
Percentage increase from the previous year = $\frac{\text{Production of current year – Production of previous year}}{\text{Production of previous year}}\times100$
= $\frac{50-40}{40}\times100=25$%
A maximum percentage increase is seen in the year 2017.
Hence, the correct answer is 2017.
