For 1997 = [ \(\frac { (35-25)} { 25 } \) x 100 ]% = 40 %

For 1998 = [ \(\frac { (35-25)} { 35 } \) x 100 ]% = 0%

For 1999 = [ \(\frac { (40-35)} { 35 } \) x 100]% = 14.29%

For 2000 = [\(\frac { (50-40)} { 40 } \) x 100 ]% = 25%

Hence, the maximum percentage rise/fall in the production of Company Y is for 1997.
