Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 12

Calculation:

The number of employees appointed by the organization R in 2008 = 94

The number of employees appointed by the organization R in 2007 = 84

Percentage increase in 2008 from 2007 = (94 - 84)/84 × 100 = 1000/84

∴ Percentage increase in 2008 from 2007 = 11.9 ≈ 12.
