Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e 30%.

The number of mango trees planted in 2018 = 40000

The number of mango trees planted in 2020 = 52000

Increase in number = 52000 - 40000 = 12000

Required percentage = 12000/40000 × 100

⇒ 3/10 × 100

⇒ 30%
