The following graph shows population data (males and females), educated people data (males and females) and number of male in the population for a given period of 1995 to 2010. All data is in million.
From the information given in the graph answer the questions that follow
In which year the percentage increase in the number of females over the previous year is highest?
We know that, female population = Total population - Male population.
Therefore, the percentage increase in Female population in 1996 = $$\dfrac{(650-320) - (600-300)}{(600-300)}\times 100$$ = 10%
The percentage increase in Female populationĀ in 1999 = $$\dfrac{(750-400) - (700-380)}{(700-380)}\times 100$$ = 9.37%
The percentage increase in Female populationĀ in 2004 =Ā $$\dfrac{(845-475) - (800-450)}{(800-450)}\times 100$$ = 5.71%
The percentage increase in Female populationĀ in 2005 =Ā $$\dfrac{(900-480) - (845-475)}{(845-475)}\times 100$$ = 13.51%
Hence, option D is the correct answer.Ā
