Formula used:

Percentage Increase = (Production of current year - Production of previous year)/ Production of Previous year × 100

Calculation:

Percentage increase in the production of medicines of the year 2011 = (60 - 40)/40 × 100 = 20/40 × 100 = 50%

Percentage increase in the production of medicines of the year 2015 = (80 - 60)/60 × 100 = 20/60 × 100 = 100/3%

∴ The required ratio = 50% : 100/3%

⇒ 1 : 2/3

⇒ 3 : 2
