What was the percentage (in%) drop in the production of food grains from 1991 to 1992?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 25.

The production of food grains is:

1991: 60 (in 1000 tons)

1992: 45 (in 1000 tons)

Drop = 60 − 45 = 15 (in 1000 tons)

Percentage drop = (15 / 60) × 100 = 25%
