The bar chart shows the production of sugar by a company (in 1000 tons) over 6 years 2010 to 2015.
Find ratio of production increase of year 2011 to production increase of year 2015 compared to their respective previous year.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Percentage increase in the production of sugar of year 2011 = \(\frac{60 - 40}{60}\) × 100 = 50%
Percentage increase in the production of sugar of year 2015 = \(\frac{80 - 60}{60}\) × 100 = \(\frac{100}{3}\) %
Ratio → 50% : \(\frac{100}{3}\) %
→ 150 : 100
3 : 2
