Options:

Correct Answer:

Manufactured goods

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Manufactured goods

To find the highest difference in percentage between 2010-11 and 2015-16, we subtract the percentage share in 2010-11 from the percentage share in 2015-16 for each category. Then, we compare these differences to identify the highest one.

Let's calculate the differences:

  • Agriculture and allied products: 12.6 - 9.9 = 2.7%
  • Ore and Minerals: 1.6 - 4.0 = -2.4% (Note: This is negative)
  • Manufactured goods: 72.9 - 68.0 = 4.9%
  • Other Commodities: 1.1 - 1.2 = -0.1% (Note: This is negative)

The highest difference in percentage between 2010-11 and 2015-16 is associated with "Manufactured goods" with a difference of 4.9%.
