Sector Year Cement Fertiliser Foam Pesticides 2015 200 500 80 100 2016 300 600 90 110 2017 320 650 100 120 2018 400 700 150 150 2019 450 800 200 180 Which sector has recorded the maximum percentage growth in CFC emission from 2015 to 2019? Correct Answer Foam
Calculation:
The percentage growth of Cement from 2015 to 2019 =
⇒ (250/200 × 100)
⇒ 125%
The percentage growth of Fertilizer from 2015 to 2019 =
⇒ (300/500 × 100)
⇒ 60%
The percentage growth of Foam from 2015 to 2019 =
⇒ (120/80 × 100)
⇒ 150%
The percentage growth of Pesticides from 2015 to 2019 =
⇒ (80/100 × 100)
⇒ 80%
∴ The maximum growth in CFC from 2015 to 2019 in Foam
