Answer: (2)

Solution: (2)

Number of magazines sold in city $P$ in :

Year 2016 $\Rightarrow 87600 \times \frac{5}{100} \times \frac{110}{100}$ $=4818$

Year 2017 $\Rightarrow 96900 \times \frac{6}{100} \times \frac{115}{100}=6686$

Required percentage $=\left(\frac{4818}{6686}\right) \times 100$ $\approx \frac{4800}{67} \approx 72 \%$
