A 6%

B 9.9%

C 0.98%

D 1.02%

E 10.2%

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

Production of rice in 1996-1997 = 81 million tonnes

Production of rice in 1999-2000 = 89 million tonnes

∴ Increase in production from 1996-97 to 1999-00 = (89 – 81) million tonnes = 8 million tonnes

Now, percentage increase = (8/81) × 100 ≈ 9.9%

∴ Percentage increase in production of rice in year 1999-2000 over the year 1996-97 is approximately 9.9%
