Solution

Total traffic of all ports

for 2011-12, 43248+54254+67420+14956+55707+28105+20090+32941+39049+56186+65730+82501 = 560187

for 2012-13, 39928+56552+59038+17885+53404+28260+19845+37036+17738+58038+64488+93619 = 545831

for 2013-14, 41386+68003+58504+27337+51105+28642+20886+39365+11739+59184+62333+87005 = 555489

for 2014-15, 46293+71011+58004+30251+52541+32414+21595+36566+14711+61660+63801+92497 = 581344

for 2015-16, 50195+76395+57033+32206+50058+36849+22099+35582+20776+61110+64027+100051 = 606381

Highest average growth = growth/12 (Total no of ports = 12)

For 2012-13, growth is negative.

For 2013-14, growth = 555489-545831 = 9658

For 2014-15, growth = 581344-555489 = 25855

For 2015-16, growth = 606381-581344 = 25037

Here, 2014-15 has highest growth from previous period.
