As per the given bar graph ,
Sum of the production of potatoes = 1244 + 1085 + 720 + 1640 + 1240 + 1345 + 1560 = 8834
Number of given years = 7Average production = Sum of the production of potatoes Number of given years
Correct Option: C
As per the given bar graph ,
Sum of the production of potatoes = 1244 + 1085 + 720 + 1640 + 1240 + 1345 + 1560 = 8834
Number of given years = 7Average production = Sum of the production of potatoes Number of given years Average production = 8834 = 1262 quintals 7
Years of more than average production = 2003, 2005 and 2006 .
Hence , required answer is 3.

On the basis of given graph in question , we find total production from the year 1995 to 1998 :
Required total production = (1200 + 600 + 500 + 1000) quintalsCorrect Option: D
On the basis of given graph in question , we find total production from the year 1995 to 1998 :
Required total production = (1200 + 600 + 500 + 1000) quintals = 3300 quintals

According to given bar graph , we have
Production in 1999 = 1500 quintal
Production in 2000 = 1300 quintal
Decrease = Production in 1999 - Production in 2000 = 1500- 1300 = 200 quintalPercentage decrease = Decrease × 100 Production in 1999 Percentage decrease = 200 × 100 1500
Correct Option: C
According to given bar graph , we have
Production in 1999 = 1500 quintal
Production in 2000 = 1300 quintal
Decrease = Production in 1999 - Production in 2000 = 1500- 1300 = 200 quintalPercentage decrease = Decrease × 100 Production in 1999 Percentage decrease = 200 × 100 1500 Percentage decrease = 40 = 13 1 % 3 3

As per the given bar graph ,
The production of wheat in year 1997 = 500
The production of wheat in year 1998 = 1000
Increase = The production of wheat in year 1998 - The production of wheat in year 1997 = 1000 - 500 = 500Percentage increase = Increase × 100 The production of wheat in year 1997
Correct Option: A
As per the given bar graph ,
The production of wheat in year 1997 = 500
The production of wheat in year 1998 = 1000
Increase = The production of wheat in year 1998 - The production of wheat in year 1997 = 1000 - 500 = 500Percentage increase = Increase × 100 The production of wheat in year 1997 Percentage increase = 500 × 100 = 100% 500
