The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Percentage increase in foreign tourist = \(\frac{= \text{Number}\ \text{of}\ \text{tourists}\ \text{arrival} - {\text{previous}\ \text{year}\ \text{tourist}\ \text{arrival}}}{\text{previous}\ \text{year}\ \text{tourist}\ \text{arrival}} × 100\)
For year 2001-2002 = No. of tourist visited decreased
For year 2000-2001 = \(\frac{2699 - 2505}{2505} × 100\) = 8%
For year 1999-2000 = \(\frac{2505 - 2397}{2397} × 100\) = 4%
For year 1996-1997 = \(\frac{2334 - 2190}{2190} × 100\) = 6.5%
As the highest %age increased is in year 2000-2001
The correct option is (B)

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Number of tourists who arrived in USA in year 2000-01 = 2699 lakhs
Number of tourists who arrived in USA in year 2001-02 = 2423 lakhs
Percentage drop in tourist visit = \(\frac{\text{Number of Tourists in 2000--01} - \text{Number of Tourists in 2001--02}}{\text{Number of Tourists in 2000--01}} \times 100\)
Percentage drop = \(\frac{2699 - 2423}{2699} \times 100\)
Percentage drop = 10.23% ≈ 10%
