In which year, area under fruits has recorded the highest rate of increase ?

  • A.2006-07
  • B.2007-08
  • C.2008-09
  • D.2009-10

Answer: A

The area under fruits recorded the highest rate of increase in 2006-07.

\[ 2006\text{-}07:\ \frac{3}{53} \approx 5.7\% \]

\[ 2007\text{-}08:\ \frac{2}{56} \approx 3.6\% \]

\[ 2008\text{-}09:\ \frac{3}{58} \approx 5.2\% \]

The final year, 2009-10, gives 2 over 61, about 3.3%. The highest rate, 5.7%, is therefore for 2006-07.

Percentage rise matters here, not the number of hectares added, because a rise of 3 lakh hectares on a small base counts for more than 2 lakh hectares on a larger base.
