The numbers (in millions) of coconut, guava, mango and apple trees in a region in 2010 and 2020 are shown in the following figure. The maximum relative change in numbers was for
To determine the maximum relative change in the number of trees from 2010 to 2020, we need to calculate the relative change for each type of tree and then compare these values.
The formula for relative change is:
\(\text{Relative Change} = \frac{\text{Value in 2020} - \text{Value in 2010}}{\text{Value in 2010}} \times 100\%\)
Let's calculate this for each type of tree:
- Coconut Trees:
- 2010: 10 million
- 2020: 20 million
- Relative Change: \(\frac{20 - 10}{10} \times 100\% = 100\%\)
- Guava Trees:
- 2010: 30 million
- 2020: 25 million
- Relative Change: \(\frac{25 - 30}{30} \times 100\% = -16.67\%\)
- Mango Trees:
- 2010: 25 million
- 2020: 27 million
- Relative Change: \(\frac{27 - 25}{25} \times 100\% = 8\%\)
- Apple Trees:
- 2010: 35 million
- 2020: 36 million
- Relative Change: \(\frac{36 - 35}{35} \times 100\% = 2.86\%\)
From the calculations, it is clear that the maximum relative change occurred in the number of Coconut Trees with a 100% increase.
Thus, the correct answer is: Coconut Trees.
