The chart given below indicates the annual sales tax revenue collections (in crores of rupees) of seven states from 1996 to 2001.

The percentage share of sales tax revenue of which state has increased from 1997 to 2001?

Answer & solution

  • A

    Tamil Nadu

  • B

    Karnataka

  • C

    Gujarat

  • Andhra Pradesh

Solution

In 1996-97, the percentage share of AP = 352629870 ×100 = 11.80%

In 2000-01, the percentage share of AP = 720249639 × 100 = 14.50%

∴ We can see that the percentage share of sales tax revenue has increased only for AP.

Hence, option (d).
