    C 9% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 14% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Public vehicles travelled in 2011 = (850+250)/2 = 550 Private vehicles travelled in 2011 = 850 – 550 = 300 Public vehicles travelled in 2013 = (1100+400)/2 = 750 Private vehicles travelled in 2013 = 1100 – 750 = 350 Required % = [(350 – 300)/350] × 100 = 14% approx.
