The given bar graph shows the strength of employees (in lakhs) of a company during four different years.

What was the percentage increase in employees in 2020 over 2019?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. $6\frac{1}{4}$ %.

According to the given graph,

Strength of employees in 2019 = 32 L

Strength of employees in 2020 = 34 L

Change in the strength of employees from 2019 to 2020 = 34 - 32

⇒ 2 L

Percentage increase = ${2 \over 32} \times 100$

⇒ ${25 \over 4} = 6{1 \over 4}$ %

Hence the percentage increase in employees in 2020 over 2019 is $6\frac{1}{4}$ %.
