Question

Which category had the highest growth rate in the period?

• A. Primary
• B. Secondary
• C. Higher secondary
• D. Graduate Level

Hint:

For “highest growth” questions, always rely on calculated values, not just on the magnitude of change in numbers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

From previous calculations:
Primary: $63.08%$
Secondary: $128.74%$
Higher Secondary: $25.87%$
Graduate: $44.85%$
Highest is clearly Secondary with $128.74%$ growth.
Checking incorrect options:
(A) Primary — only $63.08%$, much lower.
(C) Higher Secondary — $25.87%$, the smallest growth rate, not the largest.
(D) Graduate — $44.85%$, also smaller than $128.74%$.
\(\boxed{\text{Correct Answer: (B) Secondary}}\)
