    Question

    The following table shows CFC emissions (in million metric tons) from various sectors for an industry for a period of 5 years. Based on the table answer the question given below.

    Which sector has recorded the maximum percentage growth in CFC emissions from 2015 to 2019?

    A.

    Pesticides

    B.

    Cement

    C.

    Fertiliser

    D.

    Foam

    Correct option is D

    Concept Used:
    The percentage growth in emissions from 2015 to 2019 for each sector can be calculated as:
    Percentage Growth=Emissions in 2019Emissions in 2015Emissions in 2015×100\text{Percentage Growth} = \frac{\text{Emissions in 2019} - \text{Emissions in 2015}}{\text{Emissions in 2015}} \times 100​​
    Solution:
    Cement Sector:
    Emissions in 2015 = 200 
    Emissions in 2019 = 450
    Percentage Growth: 450200200×100=250200×100=125%\frac{450 - 200}{200} \times 100 = \frac{250}{200} \times 100 = 125\%​​
    Fertiliser Sector:
    Emissions in 2015 = 500
    Emissions in 2019 = 800
    Percentage Growth: 800500500×100=300500×100=60%\frac{800 - 500}{500} \times 100 = \frac{300}{500} \times 100 = 60\%​​
    Foam Sector:
    Emissions in 2015 = 80
    Emissions in 2019 = 200
    Percentage Growth: 2008080×100=12080×100=150%\frac{200 - 80}{80} \times 100 = \frac{120}{80} \times 100 = 150\%​​
    Pesticides Sector:
    Emissions in 2015 = 100
    Emissions in 2019 = 180
    Percentage Growth: 180100100×100=80100×100=80%\frac{180 - 100}{100} \times 100 = \frac{80}{100} \times 100 = 80\% 
    Thus, Foam Sector(150%) has maximum growth in CFC emission.
