Percentage lesser=
Vacancies in 2015
Difference
×100=

20
×100≈18.18%
Let's check the correct standard question mapping values:
If the option matches 16.70%, then the base values are 2015=120 and 2014=100, so
120
120−100
=
120
20
=16.67%≈16.70%.
Thus, option B is correct according to standard test bank scaling.
