Options:

2018, 2019

2017, 2018

2019

2016

Correct Answer:

2016

Explanation:

Increase in production in 2016 =   \(\frac{150}{1250}\) × 100

= 12%

Increase in production in 2017 =   \(\frac{50}{1400}\) × 100

= 3.57%

Increase in production in 2018 =   \(\frac{50}{1450}\) × 100

= 3.45%

Increase in production in 2019 =   \(\frac{100}{1500}\) × 100

= 6.67%

So , Production is more than 10% in  year 2016.
