Direction: Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions given below it:
-
If P is the percentage increase in tourist hotels from 2005 to 2006 and Q is the percentage increase in the tourist hotels from 2006 to 2008. Which of the following statements is true with respect to the relationship between P and Q?
-
- P < Q
- P = Q
- P > Q
- None of these
Correct Option: C
P = Number of hotels in 2005 to 2006 = (number of hotels in 2006 - number of hotels in 2005 ) x 100/ number of hotels in 2005
Here, P = (740 - 570) x 100/570 = 29.8%
Q = Number of hotels in 2006 to 2008 = (number of hotels in 2008 - number of hotels in 2006 ) x 100/ number of hotels in 2006
and also, Q = (838 - 740) x 100/740 = 13.2%
Hence, P > Q
