Find out the horticultural crop that has recorded an increase of area by around 10 percent from 2005-06 to 2009-10
Answer: B
The crop whose area rose by around 10 percent from 2005-06 to 2009-10 is vegetables.
\[ \text{vegetables}: \frac{79-72}{72} \approx 9.7\% \]
\[ \text{fruits}: \frac{63-53}{53} \approx 18.9\% \]
Fruits rose by almost 19 percent and flowers doubled, a rise of 100 percent. Total horticulture rose by about 11.8 percent, which is also near ten percent, but vegetables at 9.7 percent are the closest to it.
The comparison should be made over the full period from 2005-06 to 2009-10 and not between single years.
