Based on the given table, which of the following statements is TRUE?

Correct option is C

Given:

Tourist data for 5 countries (USA, UK, UAE, China, Iran) from 2012 to 2016.

Solution:

Option A:
Total UAE tourists = 250 + 280 + 240 + 300 + 540 = 1610
Total Iran tourists = 440 + 400 + 350 + 380 + 420 = 1990
→ UAE < Iran → False

Option B:
UK tourists: 310 (2012), 420 (2013), 450 (2014), 380 (2015), 430 (2016)
→ Drop from 2014 to 2015 → False

Option C:
USA: 2012 → 300, 2013 → 480
% increase =$$\frac{480 - 300}{300} \times 100 = \frac{180}{300} \times 100 = 60\%$$​→ True

Option D:
UK (2015 + 2016) = 380 + 430 = 810
China (2015 + 2016) = 400 + 350 = 750
Ratio = 810:750 = 27:25 → False

Option C is TRUE.
