The given bar graph indicates the production of sugar (in lakh tonnes) by three different sugar companies P, Q and R from the year 2015 to 2019. Study the bar graph and answer the question that follows. Production of sugar by companies P, Q and R from 2015 to 2019

The percentage increase in the production of sugar by company P in 2019 as compared to 2015 is:

50%

Production of sugar by company P in 2015 = 80

Production of sugar by company P in 2019 = 120

Percentage increase in production = \(\frac{120-80 }{80}\) × 100

= \(\frac{40 }{80}\) × 100

= 50%
