    On the basis of given graph in question , we find total production from the year 1995 to 1998 :
    Required total production = (1200 + 600 + 500 + 1000) quintals

    Correct Option: D

    On the basis of given graph in question , we find total production from the year 1995 to 1998 :
    Required total production = (1200 + 600 + 500 + 1000) quintals = 3300 quintals

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Production in 1999 = 1500 quintal
    Production in 2000 = 1300 quintal
    Decrease = Production in 1999 - Production in 2000 = 1500- 1300 = 200 quintal

    Percentage decrease =
    Decrease
    × 100
    Production in 1999

    Percentage decrease =
    200
    × 100
    1500

    Correct Option: C

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Production in 1999 = 1500 quintal
    Production in 2000 = 1300 quintal
    Decrease = Production in 1999 - Production in 2000 = 1500- 1300 = 200 quintal

    Percentage decrease =
    Decrease
    × 100
    Production in 1999

    Percentage decrease =
    200
    × 100

    As per the given bar graph ,
    The production of wheat in year 1997 = 500
    The production of wheat in year 1998 = 1000
    Increase = The production of wheat in year 1998 - The production of wheat in year 1997 = 1000 - 500 = 500

    Percentage increase =
    Increase
    × 100
    The production of wheat in year 1997

    Correct Option: A

    As per the given bar graph ,
    The production of wheat in year 1997 = 500
    The production of wheat in year 1998 = 1000
    Increase = The production of wheat in year 1998 - The production of wheat in year 1997 = 1000 - 500 = 500

    Percentage increase =
    Increase
    × 100
    The production of wheat in year 1997

    Percentage increase =
    500
    × 100 = 100%

    As per the given bar graph ,
    The sales in 2003 = 420
    The sales in 2004 = 440
    Increase = The sales in 2004 - The sales in 2003 = 440 - 420 = 20

    Percentage increase in 2004 =
    Increase
    × 100
    The sales in 2003

    Percentage increase in 2004 =
    20
    × 100 = 4.76%
    420

    The sales in 2003 = 420
    The sales in 2002 = 400
    Increase = The sales in 2003 - The sales in 2002 = 420 - 400 = 20

    Correct Option: D

    As per the given bar graph ,
    The sales in 2003 = 420
    The sales in 2004 = 440
    Increase = The sales in 2004 - The sales in 2003 = 440 - 420 = 20

    Percentage increase in 2004 =
    Increase
    × 100
    The sales in 2003

    Percentage increase in 2004 =
    20
    × 100 = 4.76%
    420

    The sales in 2003 = 420
    The sales in 2002 = 400
    Increase = The sales in 2003 - The sales in 2002 = 420 - 400 = 20
    Percentage increase in 2003 =
    Increase
    × 100
    The sales in 2002

    Percentage increase in 2003 =
    20
    × 100 = 5%
    400

    ∴ % Increase is least in 2004
