In the following table, production of mangoes (in tons) of three different states A, B, C over the years 2016 to 2019 is shown.

Years → States ↓	2016	2017	2018	2019
A	3	4.2	5.3	4.8
B	5	5.4	4	5.6
C	4.1	4.3	5	5.6

What is the approximate percentage increase in the production of state A in the year 2019 in comparison with that in 2017?

Correct option is B

Given:

Production of mangoes in state A over the years:

2017 = 4.2 tons

2019 = 4.8 tons

Solution:

Percentage Increase = $$\left( \frac{0.6}{4.2} \right) \times 100 = 0.142857 \times 100 \approx 14\%$$​
