Question 129

In which of the following years was the difference in number of people taking loan from Bank P from the previous year the highest ?

Solution

Number of people who took loans from bank P increased in 2004-05 and 2007-08

Now, % increase in 2004-05 = $$\frac{27361}{32081} \times 100$$

$$\approx \frac{5000}{32000} \times 100 = 15.6 \%$$

% increase in 2007-08 = $$\frac{23654}{36125} \times 100$$

$$\approx \frac{13000}{36000} \times 100 = 36.1 \%$$

$$\therefore$$ Difference in number of people taking loan from Bank P from the previous year is the highest in = 2008
