Question 107

Between 200I-02 and 2015-16 which year has recorded the smallest percentage increase in WPI on FA? .

Solution

From given options, 

for the year 2003-04, percentage change in WPI on FA = ((181.5-179.2)*100)/179.2 = 230/179.2 =1.28

for the year 2004-05, percentage change in WPI on FA =((186.3 - 181.5)*100)/186.3 = 480/186.3 = 2.57

for the year 2015-16, percentage change in WPI on FA = ((262.1-253.4)*100)/253.4 = 870/253.4 = 3.43

By observation, 2003-04 has smallest percentage change because the change increases by a higher factor than the value of FA in the years other than mentioned above.
