The table below shows the annual wheat production (in metric tonnes) across four agricultural zones from 2021 to 2023: | Agricultural Zone | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Zone A | 150 | 180 | 210 | | Zone B | 200 | 250 | 300 | | Zone C | 100 | 120 | 150 | | Zone D | 300 | 330

Zone A registered a $20\%$ growth in wheat production from 2021 to 2022.; In 2023, the wheat production of Zone B was exactly double that of Zone C.

The table below shows the annual wheat production (in metric tonnes) across four agricultural zones from 2021 to 2023:

Agricultural Zone	2021	2022	2023
Zone A	150	180	210
Zone B	200	250	300
Zone C	100	120	150
Zone D	300	330	360

Which of the following statements regarding the data given in the table are correct?

Zone A registered a $20\%$ growth in wheat production from 2021 to 2022.Answer
In 2023, the wheat production of Zone B was exactly double that of Zone C.Answer
C
The percentage increase in wheat production for Zone D from 2021 to 2022 was $15\%$ .
D
Zone C produced a total of $400$ metric tonnes of wheat over the three-year period from 2021 to 2023.

The correct statements are that Zone A registered a

20\%

growth in wheat production from 2021 to 2022, and in 2023, the wheat production of Zone B was exactly double that of Zone C.

Zone A's production grew from

150

180

tonnes, which is a growth of

\frac{30}{150} \times 100\% = 20\%

. In 2023, Zone B produced

300

tonnes while Zone C produced

150

tonnes, making Zone B's production exactly double that of Zone C.

Calculate the percentage growth for Zone A from 2021 to 2022.

Percentage increase =

\frac{180 - 150}{150} \times 100\% = 20\%

. Statement is correct.

To verify the growth statement for Zone A using the base year 2021 value (

150

Compare Zone B and Zone C production figures for the year 2023.

Zone B produced

300

tonnes and Zone C produced

150

tonnes. Ratio =

\frac{300}{150} = 2

. Statement is correct.

To check if Zone B production was double that of Zone C in 2023.

Calculate the percentage increase for Zone D from 2021 to 2022.

Percentage increase =

\frac{330 - 300}{300} \times 100\% = 10\% \neq 15\%

. Statement is incorrect.

To evaluate the claim regarding Zone D's percentage growth.

Calculate the total wheat production of Zone C across 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Total =

100 + 120 + 150 = 370

tonnes

\neq 400

tonnes. Statement is incorrect.

To verify the three-year total production claim for Zone C.
