Answer : Option A

Explanation :

Percentage change (rise/fall) in the production of Company Y in comparison to the previous year, for different years are:

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.
