Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Growth from 2015 to 2019 is calculated as ((2019 value - 2015 value) / 2015 value) x 100.
X: ((22 - 10) / 10) x 100 = 120%
Y: ((24 - 15) / 15) x 100 = 60%
Z: ((20 - 8) / 8) x 100 = 150%
T: ((20 - 12) / 12) x 100 = 66.67%
The maximum growth is for country Z at 150%. Therefore, option 1 is correct.
