The Y-axis represents the amount invested in raw materials (in Rs, crore) in figure 1 and the sale of products in figure 2, respectively. In which year was there a maximum percentage increase in the sales of products as compared to the previous year? Correct Answer 2009
Calculation:
Sales in 2008 = 600
Percentage increase = (600/400) × 100 - 100 = 50%
Sales in 2009 = 1000
Percentage increase = (1000/600) × 100 - 100 = 66.67%
Sales in 2011 = 1200
Percentage increase = (1200/800) × 100 - 100 = 50%
So, In 2009 the increase is the highest
∴ Required answer is 2009
