    According to given table, we have
    Production of D – type cycles :
    Year 1998 ⇒ 105
    Year 2000 ⇒ 125
    Increase = 125 - 105 = 20

    Percentage increase =
    20
    × 100
    105

    Correct Option: B

    According to given table, we have
    Production of D – type cycles :
    Year 1998 ⇒ 105
    Year 2000 ⇒ 125
    Increase = 125 - 105 = 20

    Percentage increase =
    20
    × 100
    105

    Percentage increase =
    2000
    ≈ 19 %
    105
