D. 1998-99

Correct Answer :

A. 1995-96


We will eliminate options one by one.
(a) growth in 1995  96 = 250 - 100100 × 100 = 150%
(b) growth in 1996 97 = here we dont need to calculate as graph is almost horizontal so percentage increase must be less than 150%.
(c) growth in 1997 98, again we dont need to calculate as in th is case there is a decrease in the sales.
(d) growth in 1998  99 = 680 - 280280 × 100= 400280 × 100 < 150%
Hence it is maximum in the year of 1995 96.
