According to given bar graph , we have
The amount invested in raw materials in 1996 = $ 225 lakhs
The amount invested in raw materials in 1995 = $ 120 lakhs
Increase = 225 - 120 = $ 105 lakhs
In Year 1996 ⇒Percentage increase = Increase The amount invested in raw materials in 1995 Percentage increase = 
105 
× 100 ≈ 87.5% 120
The amount invested in raw materials in 1996 = $ 225 lakhs
The amount invested in raw materials in 1997 = $ 375 lakhs
Increase = 375 - 225 = $ 150 lakhs
Correct Option: A
According to given bar graph , we have
The amount invested in raw materials in 1996 = $ 225 lakhs
The amount invested in raw materials in 1995 = $ 120 lakhs
Increase = 225 - 120 = $ 105 lakhs
In Year 1996 ⇒Percentage increase = Increase The amount invested in raw materials in 1995 Percentage increase = 105 × 100 ≈ 87.5% 120
The amount invested in raw materials in 1996 = $ 225 lakhs
The amount invested in raw materials in 1997 = $ 375 lakhs
Increase = 375 - 225 = $ 150 lakhs
In Year 1997 ⇒Percentage increase = 150 × 100 ≈ 67% 225
Therefore , required answer is 1996 year.

From the given bar diagram , we see
The number of non-working women in the year 2006 = 60 millions
The number of working women in the year 2006 = 50 millions
Difference in 2006 = 60 - 50 = 10 millions
The number of non-working women in the year 2007 = 50 millions
The number of working women in the year 2007 = 60 millions
Difference in 2007 = 60 - 50 = 10 millionsCorrect Option: A
From the given bar diagram , we see
The number of non-working women in the year 2006 = 60 millions
The number of working women in the year 2006 = 50 millions
Difference in 2006 = 60 - 50 = 10 millions
The number of non-working women in the year 2007 = 50 millions
The number of working women in the year 2007 = 60 millions
Difference in 2007 = 60 - 50 = 10 millions
Hence , required years are 2006 and 2007 in which difference between them is lowest .

On the basis of given graph in question ,
The number of non-working women in the year 2010 = 35 millions
The number of working women in the year 2010 = 85 millions
Required difference = The number of working women in the year 2010 - The number of non-working women in the year 2010Correct Option: D
On the basis of given graph in question ,
The number of non-working women in the year 2010 = 35 millions
The number of working women in the year 2010 = 85 millions
Required difference = The number of working women in the year 2010 - The number of non-working women in the year 2010
Difference in 2010 = 85 – 35 = 50 million

As per the given bar graph , we have
The number of working women in the year 2006 = 50 millions
The number of working women in the year 2010 = 85 millions
Required ratio = The number of working women in the year 2006 : The number of working women in the year 2010Correct Option: D
As per the given bar graph , we have
The number of working women in the year 2006 = 50 millions
The number of working women in the year 2010 = 85 millions
Required ratio = The number of working women in the year 2006 : The number of working women in the year 2010
∴ Required ratio = 50 : 85 = 10 : 17
