    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total production of all the three types of biscuits :
    In Year 1993 ⇒ 65 thousand (least)
    In Year 1994 ⇒ 75 thousand
    In Year 1995 ⇒ 85 thousand (maximum)
    In Year 1996 ⇒ 75 thousand
    In Year 1997 ⇒ 80 thousand

    Correct Option: A

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total production of all the three types of biscuits :
    In Year 1993 ⇒ 65 thousand (least)
    In Year 1994 ⇒ 75 thousand
    In Year 1995 ⇒ 85 thousand (maximum)
    In Year 1996 ⇒ 75 thousand

    Hence , required answer is 1993 year .


  1. The difference (in the unit of thousand pieces) between the total number of cream cracker biscuits manufactured in the years 1993, 1995 and 1997 and the total number of the biscuits of same type in the years 1994 and 1996 is

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Total number of cream cracker biscuits manufactured in the years 1993, 1995 and 1997 = 12.5 + 27.5 + 30 = 70 thousand
    Total number of the biscuits of same type in the years 1994 and 1996 = 25 + 20 = 45 thousand
    Required difference = Total number of cream cracker biscuits manufactured in the years 1993, 1995 and 1997 : Total number of the biscuits of same type in the years 1994 and 1996

    Correct Option: B

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Total number of cream cracker biscuits manufactured in the years 1993, 1995 and 1997 = 12.5 + 27.5 + 30 = 70 thousand
    Total number of the biscuits of same type in the years 1994 and 1996 = 25 + 20 = 45 thousand
    Required difference = Total number of cream cracker biscuits manufactured in the years 1993, 1995 and 1997 : Total number of the biscuits of same type in the years 1994 and 1996
    ∴ Required difference = (70 – 45) thousand = 25 thousand

    From the given bar diagram , we see

    Required percentage drop =
    30 - 22.5
    × 100
    30

    Correct Option: C

    From the given bar diagram , we see

    Required percentage drop =
    30 - 22.5
    × 100
    30

    Required percentage drop =
    7.5
    × 100 = 25%
    30
