Question Detail
A soft drink company prepares drinks of three different flavours X, Y and Z. The production of the three flavours over a period of six years has been expressed in the form of bar graph below. Study the bar graph and answer the question based on graph.
For which year the percent (rise/fall) in production from the previous year is the maximum for the flavour Y ?
- 1996
- 1997
- 1998
- 1999
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The percentage rise/fall in production from the previous year for flavour Y during previous years are :
\begin{aligned}
\text{In 1996 =}\left[ \frac{60-55}{55}*100 \right]\
% \\
= 9.09 \%\\
\text{In 1997 =}\left[ \frac{60-50}{60}*100 \right]\
% \\
= 16.67 \%\\
\text{In 1998 =}\left[ \frac{55-50}{55}*100 \right]\
% \\
= 9.09 \%\\
\text{In 1999 =}\left[ \frac{55-50}{55}*100 \right]\
% \\
= 9.09 \%\\
\end{aligned}
So maximum fall is in 1997
