Correct Option: B
According to given table, we have
Export of Port A in 1998 = 57 crore rupees
Export of Port A in 1999 = 61 crore rupees
Increase = 61 - 57 = 4 crore rupees
| Percentage increase in Port A → | × 100 = 7% | 57 |
Export of Port B in 1998 = 148 crore rupees
Export of Port B in 1999 = 160 crore rupees
Increase = 160 - 148 = 12 crore rupees
| Percentage increase in Port B → | × 100 = 8.1% | 148 |
Export of Port C in 1998 = 229 crore rupees
Export of Port C in 1999 = 234 crore rupees
Increase = 234 - 229 = 5 crore rupees
| Percentage increase in Port C → | × 100 = 2.2% | 229 |
Export of Port D in 1998 = 146 crore rupees
Export of Port D in 1999 = 150 crore rupees
Increase = 150 - 146 = 4 crore rupees
| Percentage increase in Port D → | × 100 = 2.74% | 146 |
From above it is clear that Export form B is highest.
