    C)  2014                           

    D)  2012        

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    ; In \[2011\to \frac{15-7.5}{7.5}\times 100=100%\,\]increase Similarly, In \[2012\to \frac{22.5-15}{15}\times 100\] \[=\frac{7.5}{15}\times 100=50%\]increase In \[2013\to \frac{-22.5+17.5}{+22.5}\times 100\] \[=\frac{-5}{22.5}\times 100=-\frac{50\times 100}{225}=-\frac{50\times 4}{9}\] \[=-\frac{200}{9}=-22\frac{2}{7}%=22\frac{2}{7}%\]decrease In \[2014\to \frac{20.5-17.5}{17.5}\times \frac{3}{17.5}\times 100=17\frac{1}{7}%\]increase In \[2015\to \frac{29.5-20.5}{20.5}\times 100=43\frac{37}{41}%\]increase Hence in the year 2011 the percentage increase in percentage profit from the previous year is the maximum.
