In the following table, the production of various crops(in tonnes) is given from 2015 to 2019. Study the table and answer the questions that follow.

The highest growth of sugarcane production over its previous year is recorded in the year:

2017

Lets solve one by one for each option.

1. 2018

Percentage growth in production of sugarcane over its previous year

= \(\frac{1325 - 1250}{1250}\) × 100

= 6%

2. 2016

Percentage growth in production of sugarcane over its previous year

= \(\frac{1120 - 1000}{1000}\) × 100

= 12%

3. 2019

Percentage growth in production of sugarcane over its previous year

= \(\frac{1450 - 1325}{1325}\) × 100

= 9.43%

4. 2017

Percentage growth in production of sugarcane over its previous year

= \(\frac{1250 - 1120}{1120}\) × 100

= 11.60%

So , Percentage growth in production for sugarcane is maximum for year 2017
