Correct answer: C. Gamma
Worked solution
- Alpha: 120 → 210, a rise of 75%.
- Beta: 200 → 300, a rise of 50%.
- Gamma: 80 → 240, a rise of 200%.
- Delta: 160 → 250, a rise of about 56%.
The highest is Gamma.
Answer: Gamma.
The idea
Percentage growth divides by the starting value, so a small base can beat a large absolute rise. Beta's increase of 100 is the largest in rupees but far from the largest in percent.
Shortcut. Compare multiples, not differences: Gamma triples (80 → 240) while every other company less than doubles, so no percentages are needed.
Common trap. "Beta" — its rise of ₹100 crore is the largest in rupees, but on a base of 200 it is only 50%.
