Study the chart carefully and answer the questions.
The chart shows production of an item (in tonnes) during certain years


Question 146

The year in which production increased the lowest as compared to the previous year is

Solution

Production in the year :

2001-02 = 200

2002-03 = 400

2003-04 = 600

2004-05 = 900

2005-06 = 800

2006-07 = 1000

2007-08 = 1200

=> % increase in 2002-03 as compared to previous year = $$\frac{400-200}{200}$$ * 100

= 100%

=> % increase in 2003-04 as compared to previous year = $$\frac{600-400}{400}$$ * 100

= 50%

=> % increase in 2004-05 as compared to previous year = $$\frac{900-600}{600}$$ * 100

= 50%

=> In 2005-06, there is no % increase as compared to previous year.

=> % increase in 2006-07 as compared to previous year = $$\frac{1000-800}{800}$$ * 100

= 25%

=> % increase in 2007-08 as compared to previous year = $$\frac{1200-1000}{1000}$$ * 100

= 20% [MIN]

Thus, % increase is lowest in 2007-08 as compared to previous year
