Here,
Only the differnce in Town A and Town C are greatest compared to others,so we can leave out the rest
Now the population rise in town A from 2000 to 2010 = 5000
therefore, % increase = \frac{5000}{40000} * 100% = 12.5%
the population rise in town C from 2000 to 2010 = 7000 (approx)
therefore, % increase = \(\frac{7000}{29000} * 100\)% = 24%
Option C
***For easy calculation , in town C - we can take the % increase as = \(\frac{6000}{30000}\) * 100% = 20% which is still greater than Town A
