Question 58

In the table, the production and the sale (in 1000 tonnes) of a certain product of a company over5 years is given.

In which year(s) the production increases by more than 10% of that in the previous year?

Percentage increase in production of 2016 compared to 2015 = $$\frac{150}{1250}\times$$100 = 12%

Percentage increase in production of 2017 compared to 2016 = $$\frac{50}{1400}\times$$100 = 3.57%

Percentage increase in production of 2018 compared to 2017 = $$\frac{50}{1450}\times$$100 = 3.44%

Percentage increase in production of 2019 compared to 2018 = $$\frac{100}{1500}\times$$100 = 6.67%

$$\therefore$$  Only in 2016, the production increases by more than 10% of that in the previous year.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D
