Given:

A table showing the number of trees of 3 different fruits, planted during 2018- 2022.

Formula used:

Percentage increase = (Mango in 2020 - Mango in 2018) / Mango in 2018 × 100

Calculation:

Percentage increase = (52000 - 40000) / 40000 × 100 

⇒ 12000 / 40000 × 100

⇒ 30%

∴ The correct answer is 30%.
