The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
May's reading is 10337.68 and November's reading is 9839.69.
The fall in value is \(10337.68 - 9839.69 = 497.99\).
Percentage decrease is calculated on the starting (May) value: \(\dfrac{497.99}{10337.68} \times 100 \approx 4.817\%\).
Rounded off, this is 4.8%, which is option (b).
