As the difference is 700, hence taking the near most value 712.43.

The answer should be 700 not 712.43.

but as we can see the data is not accurate as we are taking like we are taking 800 first value but that is not 800.

Yes, Option D is valid. We just estimated some values because the graph is not to giving distinct values.

@All.

It's Data InAdequate ,datas are like for 2002-2003 -847.78,750.31,681.98,1171.01,962.58 And for 2001-2002 are 1122.66,913.63,681.98,1171.01,962.58 now the answer is 142.48.

Could anyone clarify the solution, please?
the difference is like that: (1100-850)+(900-750)+(700-650)+(1150-1050)+(950-700)=800
But 800 is not found in any answer

What is the difference between percentage change and absolute change? explain?

@Faud - You need to find the sales turnover as accurate to scale as possible. Hence the crazy answer with two digits after decimal point.

@Naidu - (X-Y)is the absolute change between X and Y.
((X-Y)/X)*100 is the percentage change (or relative change).

From question (i), it's absolutely 4750-4050 = 700.
Not sure, how the crazy answer 712.43% come.

Shubham said:   1 decade ago
If 800 is absolute change, then how could 712.43 be the answer. We can choose option D.

Raja said:   8 years ago
How the answer is option A? explain it.
