Correct Option: B
From the given bar diagram , we see
The production of fertilizers in 1997 = 60 ( in tonnes )
The production of fertilizers in 1996 = 40 ( in tonnes )
Increase = The production of fertilizers in 1997 - The production of fertilizers in 1996 = 60 - 40 = 20
| Percentage increase in 1997 = | × 100 = 50% | 40 |
The production of fertilizers in 1995 = 25 ( in tonnes )
The production of fertilizers in 1996 = 40 ( in tonnes )
Increase = The production of fertilizers in 1996 - The production of fertilizers in 1995 = 40 - 25 = 15
| Percentage increase in 1996 = | × 100 | The production of fertilizers in 1995 |
| Percentage increase in 1996 = | = 60% | 25 |
