Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : A, C, D and E

Calculation:

⇒ For country A = (38 - 35)/35 × 100 = 8.5%

⇒ For country B = (47 - 45)/45 × 100 = 4.4%

⇒ For country C = (93 - 88)/88 × 100 = 5.6%

⇒ For country D = (79 - 75)/75 × 100 = 5.3%

⇒ For country E = (60.9 - 58)/58 × 100 = 5%

∴ From above, in A, C, D and E countries production of cars increased by more than or equal to 5% in 2016 over 2015.
