- 1997
Correct Option: C
On the basis of given bar graph in question , we see
The production of fertilizer in year 1995 = 25
The production of fertilizer in year 1996 = 40
Increase = 40 - 25 = 15
⇒ In Year 1996 ,
| Percentage increase = | × 100 = 60% | 25 |
The production of fertilizer in year 1996 = 40
The production of fertilizer in year 1997 = 60
Increase = 60 - 40 = 20
⇒ In Year 1997 ,
| Percentage increase = | × 100 = 50% | 40 |
Therefore , % increase is maximum in 1996 .
