In which of the following years (compared with next year), the percentage increase in the number of Indians going abroad was greater than the percentage increase in the number of domestic tourists?
A)
2004 and 2005
B)
2005 and 2006
C)
2005 and 2007
D)
2006 and 2008
E)
2004, 2005 and 2006
C
The question states to find where the first increase in percentage is higher than the second increase. The year 2005 is given in four options out of 5, that should be our starting point. Since the first value is lower, answer option 4th is rejected. Checking for 2004 after that, and finding it wrong, the possible options left are B and C only. Checking for 2006, which is wrong, you can mark the answer as option C.
