Why do we multiply the difference with 1,00,000?

Company Z in 1998 is 45 lakh tone.

Company Y in 1996 is 25 lakh tone.

So 45 L.Tone-25 L.Tone = 20 lakh tone.

25 is for X and for Y it is 35. So, in the question,it should be X instead of Y.

@Shrinkhala - 100000 is multiplied since the production is in lakh(see the scaling on the graph).

Why should here multiply by 100000? Explain in detail.
