Study the table and answer the question that follows.
Year State 2000 2005 2015 Himachal Pradesh 110 90 150 Uttar Pradesh 120 85 90 Madhya Pradesh 90 65 80 Andhra Pradesh 55 75 65 Tamil Nadu 150 90 115
Calculating Rainfall Percentage Decrease
To find the state with the maximum percentage decrease in annual rainfall between 2000 and 2015, we need to calculate the percentage change for each state listed.
Rainfall Decrease Formula
The formula for calculating percentage decrease is:
$ \text{Percentage Decrease} = \frac{(\text{Rainfall}_{2000} - \text{Rainfall}_{2015})}{\text{Rainfall}_{2000}} \times 100\% $
Where:
- $Rainfall2000$ is the annual rainfall in the year 2000.
- $Rainfall2015$ is the annual rainfall in the year 2015.
Applying the Formula to States
This calculation needs to be performed for each state mentioned:
- Tamil Nadu: Calculate percentage decrease using its 2000 and 2015 rainfall data.
- Uttar Pradesh: Calculate percentage decrease using its 2000 and 2015 rainfall data.
- Andhra Pradesh: Calculate percentage decrease using its 2000 and 2015 rainfall data.
- Madhya Pradesh: Calculate percentage decrease using its 2000 and 2015 rainfall data.
Identifying Maximum Decrease
After calculating the percentage decrease for all four states, compare the results. The state that shows the highest positive percentage value indicates the largest decrease in annual rainfall over the specified period.
Based on available data analysis for the period 2000-2015, Uttar Pradesh exhibited the largest percentage reduction in annual rainfall compared to the other states.
