Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : 22.5%

Given:

The consumption of tea in state C from 2015 to 2017 is 150, 142, 198 and of A, B, D in 2015 is 122, 138, 140 in hundred tonnes.

Calculation:

Now the total consumption of C from 2015 to 2017 is given by

⇒ Consumption of C = 150 + 142 + 198 = 490 in hundred tonnes.

And the consumption of A, B, D in 2015 is given by

⇒ Consumption of A, B, D = 122 + 138 + 140 = 400 in hundred tonnes.

The value of consumption of C more than of A, B, D is given by

⇒ Percentage is = (490 – 400)/400 = (90/400)×100 = 22.5%

∴ The total consumption of C from 2015 to 2017 is more by 22.5%
