Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Percentage increases: 2009-10: 30/590 = 5.08%; 2010-11: 36/620 = 5.81%; 2011-12: 34/656 = 5.18%; 2012-13: 36/690 = 5.22%.
The rise of 36 lakh in 2012-13 equals that of 2010-11, but it is on a larger base, so the percentage is smaller. The highest percentage rise is in 2010-11.
