Answer

Correct Answer: P > Q

Explanation

P = Number of hotels in 2005 to 2006 = (number of hotels in 2006 - number of hotels in 2005 ) x 100/ number of hotels in 2005 Here, P = (740 - 570) x 100/570 = 29.8% Q = Number of hotels in 2006 to 2008 = (number of hotels in 2008 - number of hotels in 2006 ) x 100/ number of hotels in 2006 and also, Q = (838 - 740) x 100/740 = 13.2% Hence, P > Q
