Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 41%
Given that
The total production of all types of two wheelers in 1998 = 334
The total production of all types of two wheelers in 1994 = 237
According to the question
The required % increase = [(334- 237)/237] × 100 = 40.92 ≈ 41%
