The given graph shows the population of a country (in lakhs) in some years. Calculate the percentage increase in population from 2006 to 2008.

Correct option is A

Given:
Population in 2006 = 800 lakhs
Population in 2008 = 1000 lakhs
Formula Used:
Percentage increase = $$\frac{\text{Population in 2008} - \text{Population in 2006}}{\text{Population in 2006}}$$​ × 100
Solution:
Percentage increase = $$\frac{1000\ \text{lakh} - 800\ \text{lakh}}{800\ \text{lakh}}$$​ × 100
Percentage increase = $$\frac 14$$​ × 100 = 25%
