The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 623\frac{2}{3}%

The average production of cement by company B in 2015, 2016 and 2018 = (150 + 180 + 300)/3 = 630/3 = 210.

The average production of cement by company C in 2015 and 2017 = (200 + 250)/2 = 450/2 = 225.

Required% = (225 - 210)/225 × 100 = 623\frac{2}{3}%.
