As per the given bar graph ,
The sales in 2003 = 420
The sales in 2004 = 440
Increase = The sales in 2004 - The sales in 2003 = 440 - 420 = 20Percentage increase in 2004 = Increase × 100 The sales in 2003 Percentage increase in 2004 = 20 × 100 = 4.76% 420
The sales in 2003 = 420
The sales in 2002 = 400
Increase = The sales in 2003 - The sales in 2002 = 420 - 400 = 20
Correct Option: D
As per the given bar graph ,
The sales in 2003 = 420
The sales in 2004 = 440
Increase = The sales in 2004 - The sales in 2003 = 440 - 420 = 20Percentage increase in 2004 = Increase × 100 The sales in 2003 Percentage increase in 2004 = 20 × 100 = 4.76% 420
The sales in 2003 = 420
The sales in 2002 = 400
Increase = The sales in 2003 - The sales in 2002 = 420 - 400 = 20Percentage increase in 2003 = Increase × 100 The sales in 2002 Percentage increase in 2003 = 20 × 100 = 5% 400
∴ % Increase is least in 2004

From the given bar diagram , we see
The sales in 2003 = $ 420 × 1000
The sales in 2001 = $ 320 × 1000
Required difference = The sales in 2003 - The sales in 2001Correct Option: B
From the given bar diagram , we see
The sales in 2003 = $ 420 × 1000
The sales in 2001 = $ 320 × 1000
Required difference = The sales in 2003 - The sales in 2001
∴ Required difference = (420 – 320) × 1000 = $ 100000

On the basis of given graph in question ,
The sale in year 2000 = 340
The sale in year 2001 = 320
Decrease = The sale in year 2000 - The sale in year 2001 = 340 - 320 = 20Percentage decrease(2001) = Decrease × 100 The sale in year 2000 Percentage decrease(2001) = 20 × 100 = 6% 340
The sale in year 2004 = 440
The sale in year 2005 = 400
Decrease = The sale in year 2004 - The sale in year 2005 = 440 - 400 = 40Percentage decrease(2005) = Decrease × 100 The sale in year 2004
Correct Option: C
