Study the given graph carefully and answer the question that follows. Production of food grains by a state over the years (1000 tonnes)
What was the percentage drop in the production of food grains from 2018 to 2019 (consider up to two decimals)?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Production of food grain in 2018 = 70
Production of food grain in 2019 = 65
Percentage decrease in production of food grains from 2018 to 2019 = \(\frac{70-65 }{70}\) × 100
= \(\frac{5 }{70}\) × 100
= 7.14%
