In comparison to 1997 - 1998, how many times the crude and petroleum products have increased in 2010 - 2011 ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Approximately 16.63 times
Increase factor = (2010-2011 share) / (1997-1998 share)
From the table: 1997-1998 share of crude and petroleum products = 1.01% 2010-2011 share of crude and petroleum products = 16.8%
Increase factor = 16.8 / 1.01 = 16.63
