Average export during the given period = Rs. 8.73 crores.
If was above average in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
i.e. in 4 years

Percentage increase in export from 2006 to 2007.
$$\eqalign{ & = \left(\frac{11.4-9.5}{9.5}\times100\right)\% \cr & = \left(\frac{1.9}{9.5}\times100\right)\% \cr & = \left(\frac{19}{95}\times100\right)\% \cr & = 20\% \cr} $$

Average export of pearls over the period
  $$ = \left\{\frac{1}{7}\left(5.2+6.5+7.8+9.9+10.8+9.5+11.4\right)\right\}\text{crores}$$
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{61.1}{7}\text{ crores} \cr & = 8.728 \text{ crores} \cr & = \text{Rs. }8.73 \text{ crores} \cr} $$

$$\eqalign{ & \text{Average export in 2003 and 2004} \cr & = \frac{7.8+9.9}{2} \text{ crores} \cr & = \frac{17.7}{2} \text{ crores} \cr & = \text{Rs. }8.85 \text{ crores} \cr & \approx \text{Rs. }9 \text{ crores} \cr} $$

Clearly, the maximum increase was in 2004
