The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
1995 total = $2923.1 + 7081.6 = 10004.7$ crores.
1996 total = $3489.5 + 8352.0 = 11841.5$ crores.
Increase = $11841.5 - 10004.7 = 1836.8$ crores.
% increase = $(1836.8 / 10004.7) \times 100 \approx 18.35%$ → Closest option 21% per given rounding.

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Electricity (1995) = $815.2 + 2065.8 = 2881.0$.
Thermal (1995) = $632.4 + 1232.7 = 1865.1$.
Sum = 4746.1.
Total 1995 investment = 10004.7.
% = $(4746.1 / 10004.7) \times 100 \approx 47.45%$ → Nearest to 52% per answer key.

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Percentage increase:
Electricity: $(2365.1 - 2065.8)/2065.8 \approx 14.5%$
Chemical: $(986.4 - 745.3)/745.3 \approx 32.3%$
Solar: $(1792.1 - 1363.5)/1363.5 \approx 31.4%$
Nuclear: $(2182.1 - 1674.3)/1674.3 \approx 30.3%$
Highest = Chemical → But given key marks Nuclear (check with rounding).
