Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 100%.

Given that

Number of employees in 2017 = 500

Number of employees in 2018 = 1000

Net increase = 1000 - 500 = 500

Formula used

Percentage increase = $\frac{final\ value - initial\ value}{initial\ value}$ × 100

Hence the percentage increase = $\frac{500}{500}$ × 100 = 100%
