Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Growth from 2016 to 2017 is calculated as ((2017 value - 2016 value) / 2016 value) x 100.
X: ((15 - 13) / 13) x 100 = 15.38%
Y: ((20 - 18) / 18) x 100 = 11.11%
Z: ((12 - 10) / 10) x 100 = 20%
T: ((15 - 13) / 13) x 100 = 15.38%
The maximum growth is for country Z at 20%. Therefore, option 2 is correct.
