Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Percentage increase in the production of cement from the year 2008 to the year 2009,
for factory $ A=\frac{70-60}{60}\times 100 $ %=16.66%
for factory $ B=\frac{60-40}{40}\times 100 $ %=50%
for factory $ C =\frac{85-65}{65}\times 100 $ %=30.77%
for factory $ D=\frac{60-50}{50}\times 100 $ %=20%
Thus, percentage increase was maximum for factory B.
