Options

A. 23
B. 25
C. 35
D. 16

Answer

A

Explanation

Increase in wheat production:
Year 2003 `implies(2900xx130)/(100)=3770` quintals
Year 2004 `implies(2900xx140)/(100)=4060` quintals
Year 2005 `implies(3000xx145)/(100)=4350`
Year 2007 `implies(2900xx140)/(100)=4060` quintals
Total earlier production of wheat in Madhya Pradesh
`=2400+3300+2900+2900+3000+2400+2900=19800` quintals
New wheat production
`=2400+3300+3370+4060+4350+2400+4060=24340` quintals
Increase =24340-19800 =4380 quintals
Percentage increase
`=(4540)/(19800)xx100`
`=22.92%~~23%`
