Answer the questions on the basis of the table given below Table: Production of Major Minerals and Metals (Million Tonnes)
Which year has witnessed highest absolute increase in total production of minerals and metals?
The year wise total production of minerals and metals is as shown below:-
2005 = 69+91+71+15+100 = 346
2006 = 75+88+75+18+120 = 376
2007 = 81+97+79+21+102 = 380
2008 = 98+107+88+25+131 = 449
2009 = 93+110+92+24+143 = 462
2010 = 99+116+97+20+154 = 486
2011 = 105+122+103+125+103 = 518
The y-o-y increase in the total production of minerals and metals is as shown below:-
2006 = 376-346 = 30
2007 = 380-376 = 4
2008 = 449-380 = 69
2009 = 462-449 = 13
2010 = 486-462 = 24
2011 = 518-486 = 32
Thus, year 2008 has witnessed highest absolute increase in total production of minerals and metals.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
