As per the given bar graph , we have
Number of Science students in 2007-08 = 500
Number of Science students in 2006-07 = 450
Increase = 500 - 450 = 50Percentage increase in Science students = Increase × 100 Number of Science students in 2006-07 Percentage increase in Science students = 50 × 100 450
Correct Option: B
As per the given bar graph , we have
Number of Science students in 2007-08 = 500
