(a) (i) In  $2002$ , the sales were Rs  $4$  crores. (ii) In  $2006$ , the sales were Rs  $8$  crores. (b) (i) In  $2003$ , the sales were Rs  $7$  crores. (ii) In  $2005$ , the sales were Rs  $10$  crores. (c) (i) In  $2002$ , the sales were Rs  $4$  crores and in  $2006$ , the sales were Rs  $8$  crores. Difference between the sales in  $2002$  and  $2006$ = Rs  $(8 - 4)$  crores  = Rs  $4$  crores (d) Difference between the sales of the year  $2006$  and  $2005$ = Rs  $(10 - 8) $ crores = Rs  $2$  crores Difference between the sales of the year  $2005$  and  $2004$ = Rs  $(10 - 6)$  crores  = Rs  $4$  crores Difference between the sales of the year  $2004$  and  $2003$ = Rs  $(7 - 6)$  crore = Rs  $1$  crore Difference between the sales of the year  $2003$  and  $2002$ = Rs  $(7 - 4)$  crores = Rs  $3$  crores Hence, the difference was the maximum in the year  $2005$  as compared to its previous year  $2004$ .
