  • Options
  • A. 1991
  • B. 1993
  • C. 1995
  • D. 1990

  • Correct Answer
  • 1990 

    Explanation

    Check given option one by one.
    Option (A),
    Percentage increase in production in 1991 = {(Production in 1991 - Production in 1990)} x 100 % / Production in 1990
    Percentage increase in production in 1991 = {( 60 - 40 )} x 100 % / 40
    Percentage increase in production in 1991 = 20 x 100 % / 40
    Percentage increase in production in 1991 = 100 % / 2 = 50 %
    Option (B)
    Percentage increase in production in 1993 = {( Production in 1993 - Production in 1992 )} x 100 % / Production in 1992
    Percentage increase in production in 1993 = {( 65 - 45 )} x 100 % / 45
    Percentage increase in production in 1993 = 20 x 100 % / 45
    Percentage increase in production in 1993 = 4 x 100 % / 9 = 400/9 = 44.44 %
    Option (C)
    Percentage increase in production in 1995 = {( Production in 1995 - Production in 1994 )} x 100 % / Production in 1994
    Percentage increase in production in 1995 = {( 75 - 50 )} x 100 % / 50
    Percentage increase in production in 1995 = 25 x 100 % / 50
    Percentage increase in production in 1995 = 100 % / 2 =50 %
    Option (D)
    Percentage increase in production in 1990 = {( Production in 1990 - Production in 1989 )} x 100 % / Production in 1989
    Percentage increase in production in 1990 = {( 40 - 25)} x 100 % / 25
    Percentage increase in production in 1990 = 15 x 100 % / 25
    Percentage increase in production in 1990 = 15 x 4 % = 60 %
