For 2015,
Increase is from 50000 to 60000 so,
% increase is given by 60000/50000 = 1.2 therefore 20%
For 2017
Increase is from 60000 to 70800 so,
% increase is given by 70800/60000 = 1.18 therefore 18%
option A

Col. A: \(\frac{(60000 - 50000)}{50000}\)
Col. B: \(\frac{(70800 - 60000)}{60000}\)
Col. A: \(\frac{10000}{50000}\)
Col. B: \(\frac{10800}{60000}\)
Col. A: \(\frac{1}{5}\)
Col. B: \(\frac{1.08}{6}\)
Cross multiply the denominators:
Col. A: \(6\)
Col. B: \((1.08)(5)\)
Clearly, option A
