-
- 1992-93
- 1990-91
- 1993-94
- 1988-89
Correct Option: D
According to given bar graph in question ,
The deficit in 1992-93 = 3600
The deficit in 1991-92 = 2600
Increase = 3600 - 2600 = 1000
| Percentage increase in 1992-93 ⇒ | × 100 ≈ 38% | 2600 |
The deficit in 1990-91 = 2800
The deficit in 1989-90 = 2100
Increase = 2800 - 2100 = 700
| Percentage increase in 1990-91 ⇒ | × 100 ≈ 33.3% | 2100 |
The deficit in 1988-89 = 3100
The deficit in 1987-88 = 2200
Increase = 3100 - 2200 = 900
| Percentage increase in 1988-89 ⇒ | × 100 ≈ 41% | 2200 |
