    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    The percentage rise/fall in production from the previous year for flavour Y during various years are:

      In 1996 = [ \(\frac { (60 -55) } {55 } \) x 100]% = 9.09% (increase)

      In 1997 =[ \(\frac { (60 -50) } {60 } \) x 100]% = 16.67 % (decrease)

     In 1998 =[ \(\frac { (55 -50) } {55 } \) x 100 ]% = 10% (increase)

     In 1999  =[ \(\frac { (55 -50) } {55 } \) x 100]% = 9.09% (decrease)

     In 2000 =[ \(\frac { (55 -50) } {50 } \)  x 100 ]% = 10% (increase)

    Therefore Maximum change is decrease of 16.67% during 1997.
