    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    The percentage increase from 1995 to 2000 for various products are 

     Lipsticks = [ \(\frac { (48.17 -20.15) } { 20.15 } \) x 100 ]% = 139.06%

    Nail enamels = [\(\frac { (37.76 -5.93) } {5.93 } \) x 100 ]% = 536.76%

    Talcum powders = [ \( \frac { (29.14 -14.97)} { 14.97 }\) x 100]% =94.66%

    Shampoos = [ \(\frac { (12.21- 7.88) } {7.88 } \) x  100]% = 54.95% ~= 55%

    Conditioners = [\(\frac { (10.19-5.01) } { 5.01 } \) x 100]% = 103.39%

    Therefore The minimum rate of increase in sales from 1995 to 2000 is in the case of Shampoos
