Solution

Ports with growth in traffic are Kolkata, Paradip, Kamarajar, Chidambaranar, Kochin, New Mangalore, Mumbai and Kandla.

From year 2011-12 to year 2015-16,

Growth for Kolkata = 7000   

Growth for Paradip = 22000

Growth for Kamarajar = 17000

Growth for Chidambaranar = 9000

Growth for Kochin = 2000

Growth for New Mangalore = 3000

Growth for Mumbai = 5000

Growth for Kandla = 17500

Since all values are approximate, port with third highest growth is either Kandla or Kamarajar whichever is lower.

Actual Growth for Kamarajar = 17250

Actual Growth for Kandla = 17550 

Hence Kamarajar is the port with 3rd highest growth rate.
