This question was previously asked in
CDS II 2021 General Knowledge Previous Year Paper (14-Nov-2021)
The correct answer is

B

From Given :
For category A,

Total number employee of category A in 2019 = 20 × 4000/100 = 800

Total number employee of category A in 2020 = 22 × 5000/100 = 1100

Percentage change = 300/800 × 100 = 37.5% 

For category B, 

Total number employee of category B in 2019 = 6 × 4000/100 = 240 

Total number employee of category B in 2020 = 10 × 5000/100 = 500

Percentage change = 260/240 × 100 = 108.33%

For category C, 

Total number employee of category C in 2019 = 10 × 4000/100 = 400

Total number employee of category C in 2020 = 11 × 5000/100 = 550

Percentage change = 150/400 × 100 = 37.5% 

For category D, 

Total number employee of category D in 2019 = 15 × 4000/100 = 600

Total number employee of category D in 2020 = 9 × 5000/100 = 450

Percentage change = (-)150/600 × 100 = (-)25%

For category E, 

Total number employee of category E in 2019 = 27 × 4000/100 = 1080

Total number employee of category E in 2020 = 27 × 5000/100 = 1350

Percentage change = 270/1080 × 100 = 25% 

For category F, 

Total number employee of category F in 2019 = 22 × 4000/100 = 880

Total number employee of category F in 2020 = 21 × 5000/100 = 1050

Percentage change = 110/440 × 100 = 25% 

From the above calculation

So, Percentage change is maximum for B 

∴ The correct answer is B.
