Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- When we see the graph carefully we observe that the slope or change is highest for year 2004 and 2007. So,
In the year $ 2004,=,\frac{25-15}{15},\times ,100 $ % = 66.66%
In the year $ 2007=\frac{45-30}{30}\times 100%=50% $
Hence, the percentage rise is highest in the year 2004.
