In which years(s) the production increases by more than 10% of that in the previous year ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 2016

Production in 2015 = 1250

Production in 2016 = 1400

Percentage increase in production = [(1400 - 1250)/1250] × 100 = 12%

Production in 2016 = 1400

Production in 2017 = 1450

Percentage increase in production = [(1450 - 1400)/1400] × 100 = 3.6%

Production in 2017 = 1450

Production in 2018 = 1500

Percentage increase in production = [(1500 - 1450)/1450] × 100 = 3.5%

Production in 2018 = 1500

Production in 2019 = 1600

Percentage increase in production = [(1600 - 1500)/1500] × 100 = 6.7%
