The chart shows automobile ownership in the United
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Smallest increase in car occurred in:

1930 - 1940

Explanation:

(The question is incomplete because the chart is not given. I have attached the full question at the bottom, for a better understanding of the question)

Lets calculate the increase from looking at the chart for different options.

<h3>1900 - 1920:</h3>

In 1900, the number of owners are 0 millions

in 1920, then number of owners are slightly less than 10, consider it to be 8 million.

Increase in ownership = 8 millions - 0 millions

Increase in ownership = 8 millions (approx)

<h3>1920 - 1930:</h3>

In 1920, the number of owners are 8 millions

in 1930, then number of owners are slightly more than 20, consider it to be 23 million.

Increase in ownership = 23 millions - 8 millions

Increase in ownership = 15 millions (approx)

<h3>1930 - 1940:</h3>

In 1930, the number of owners are 23 millions

in 1940, then number of owners are slightly less than 30, consider it to be 27 million.

Increase in ownership = 27 millions - 23 millions

Increase in ownership = 4 millions (approx)

<h3>1940 - 1950:</h3>

In 1940, the number of owners are 27 millions

in 1950, then number of owners are 40 millions

Increase in ownership = 40 millions - 27 millions

Increase in ownership = 13 millions (approx)
