Correct Answer: Option A
The percentage rise/fall in the number of students who left the school (compared to the previous year) during various years are:
| For 1997 = |  | (450 - 250) | x 100 | ![]](/assets/images/data-interpretation/common/1-sym-cbracket-h1.gif) | % = 80% (rise). |
| 250 |
| For 1998 = | | (450 - 400) | x 100 | | % = 11.11% (fall). |
| 450 |
| For 1999 = | | (400 - 350) | x 100 | | % = 12.5% (fall). |
| 400 |
| For 2000 = | | (450 - 350) | x 100 | | % = 28.57% (rise). |
| 350 |
| For 2001 = | | (450 - 450) | x 100 | | % = 0%. |
| 450 |
Clearly, the maximum percentage rise/fall is for 1997.
