The following steps are to be followed to prepare the comparative statements in the prescribed sequence.
(A) Find out the change in absolute figures by subtracting the first year from the second year and indicate the change as increase (+) or decrease (–)
(B) Rearrange the given items
(C) Calculate the percentage change
(D) List out absolute figures in rupees relating to two points of time
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (B), (D), (A), (C)
A comparative statement sets the figures of two years side by side and then measures the change between them.
(B) Rearrange the given items — first, the items are put into the form of the statement, so that the two years can be compared line by line.
(D) List out absolute figures in rupees relating to two points of time — next, the figures of both years are entered against each item.
(A) Find out the change in absolute figures by subtracting the first year from the second year and indicate the change as increase (+) or decrease (−) — then the change is found from the two figures.
(C) Calculate the percentage change — last, because it divides the absolute change by the first-year figure.
