**The bar chart below shows the annual revenue (in ₹ crore) of a company over five years.** | Year | Revenue (₹ crore) | |------|------------------:| | 2021 | 50 | | 2022 | 65 | | 2023 | 80 | | 2024 | 100 | | 2025 | 125 | (Imagine bars rising progressively each year — sum $= 420$ crore.) **Question.** If the company sustains the same percentage growth rate observed from 2024 to 2025 into 2026 as well, what will be its revenue in 2026 (to the nearest crore)?

A₹$150$ crore
B₹$156$ crore
C₹$165$ crore
D₹$175$ crore
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. ₹$156$ crore
**Find the growth rate.** From 2024 ($100$) to 2025 ($125$): $\dfrac{25}{100} \times 100 = 25\%$. **Project to 2026.** $125 \times 1.25 = 156.25$, which rounds to ₹$156$ crore. **Why option A (₹150) is tempting.** It uses the *absolute* increase of ₹25 crore directly ($125 + 25 = 150$). But the question specifies the same percentage rate — and $25\%$ of $125$ is $31.25$, not $25$.
