A soft drink company prepares drinks of three different flavours - X, Y and Z. The production of three flavours over a period of six years has been expressed in the bar graph provided below.
Production of Three Different Flavours X, Y and Z by a Company over the years (in lakh bottles)
For which of the following years is the percentage rise/fall in production from the previous year the maximum for the flavour Y?
1996
1997
1998
1999
Correct answer is B
The percentage rise/fall in production from the previous year for flavour Y during various years are:
In 1996 = [ (60 - 55)/55 x 100 ] % = 9.09% (increase)
In 1997 = [ (60 - 50)/60 x 100 ] % = 16.67% (decrease)
In 1998 = [ (55 - 50)/55 x 100 ] % = 10% (increase)
In 1999 = [ (55 - 50)/55 x 100 ] % = 9.09% (decrease)
In 2000 = [ (55 - 50)/50 x 100 ] % = 10% (increase)
Therefore Maximum change is decrease of 16.67% during 1997.
