Question:

DIRECTIONS:Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions that follow:

The line graph gives the percentage increase in the number of students and the fee per student at a coaching institute, across five years. The increase in values for each year is with respect to that of the previous year.


What was the approximate percentage increase in the number of students from 2010 to 2013?
Options:
A) 14
B) 15
C) 16
D) 17
E) None of these
Solution:

if the number of student in 2010 is 100, the number of students in 2013 would be

100 × \(\cfrac{107}{100}\) × \(\cfrac{106}{100}\)  × \(\cfrac{102}{100}\)  = 115.68

The percentage increase = 16.

102 is correct. Although there is decline in graph, but read the instruction given above the graph which says "THERE IS INCREASE EVERY YEAR"
