Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 2017

Calculations :

Number of trees planted in year 2016 = 1800 + 2500 + 1800 + 2000

⇒ 8100

Number of trees planted in year 2017 = 2500 + 2300 + 1850 + 1800

⇒ 8450

Number of trees planted in year 2018 = 2300 + 2400 + 1840 + 1760

⇒ 8300

Number of trees planted in year 2019 = 2440 + 1950 + 1900 + 1600

⇒ 7890

Number of trees planted in year 2020 = 2500 + 2300 + 1850 + 1800

⇒ 8100

Hence, maximum number of trees are planted in year 2017
