The bar graph given below shows the targeted and actual production (in thousand tonnes) of cement during 2015-2017. In which of the given 5 years, the targeted production of cement was 22.5% higher than the actual average production of cement?

The bar graph given below shows the targeted and actual production (in thousand tonnes) of cement during 2015-2017. In which of the given 5 years, the targeted production of cement was 22.5% higher than the actual average production of cement? Correct Answer <p style="">2015, 2016</p>

Calculation:

The actual average production of cement = (245 + 250 + 300 + 355 + 400)/5 = 310

In the year of 2013, the targeted production of cement was less than the actual average production of cement (270 < 310)

In 2014,

Required % =  × 100 = 12.90%

 In 2015,

Required % =  × 100 = 29.03%

In 2016,

Required % =  × 100 = 45.16%

In 2017,

Required % =  × 100 = 6.45%
