According to given bar graph , we have
Year 1981 ⇒ 35 from 30 (Increase)
Year 1982 ⇒ 20 from 35 (Decrease)
Year 1983 ⇒ 25 from 20 (Increase)
Year 1984 ⇒ 15 from 25 (Decrease)

On the basis of given graph in question ,
The production of food grains in the year 1984 = 15 thousand tonnes
The production of food grains in the year 1985 = 30 thousand tonnes
Increase = 30 - 15 = 15 thousand tonnesPercentage increase = Increase × 100 The production of food grains in the year 1984
Correct Option: D
On the basis of given graph in question ,
The production of food grains in the year 1984 = 15 thousand tonnes
The production of food grains in the year 1985 = 30 thousand tonnes
Increase = 30 - 15 = 15 thousand tonnesPercentage increase = Increase × 100 The production of food grains in the year 1984 Percentage increase = 15 × 100 = 100% 15
