Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Total export of all countries together in 1999= 40 + 25 + 55 + 60 + 50 + 40
= Rs. 270 crore
Total export of all countries together in 2001
= 45 + 50 + 90 + 15 + 100 + 75
= Rs. 375 crore
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore \text{Required % increase} \cr & = \frac{375 - 270}{270}\times100 \cr & = \frac{105}{270}\times100 \cr & = \frac{350}{9}\% \cr & = 38.88\% \cr & \approx 38.89\% \cr} $$
