The total runs scored by four cricketers P, Q, R, and S in years 2009 and 2010 are given in the following table:
| Player | 2009 | 2010 |
|---|---|---|
| P | 802 | 1008 |
| Q | 765 | 912 |
| R | 429 | 619 |
| S | 501 | 701 |
The player with the lowest percentage increase in total runs is
Answer: B
The lowest percentage increase belongs to Q.
Percentage increase = (2010 runs - 2009 runs) / 2009 runs x 100:
\[ \begin{aligned} P &: 206/802 = 25.7\% \\ Q &: 147/765 = 19.2\% \\ R &: 190/429 = 44.3\% \\ S &: 200/501 = 39.9\% \end{aligned} \]
Q has the smallest increase, both in runs (147) and as a percentage. P has the highest totals and might look slowest-growing at a glance, but its increase is 25.7%. R and S, starting from lower bases, grew fastest.
