The question you are referring to is a different one. The original question asks about the greatest and the least net increases, while the question you are referring to asks about the greatest and the least percentage increases. Please post a screenshot of the question such that the entire graph and all the text are visible. I'll repost it as a separate topic and explain.

For each of six Internet-based companies and each of several years, the graph shows the average number of times per week the home page of a company was viewed. The vertical axis is in power of 10. 

Select from each drop down menu the option that creates the most accurate statement, given the information in the graph. 

Over the period depicted in the graph, the company that showed the greatest net increase in the average number of visits per week to the home page of its website is 

Over the period depicted in the graph, the company that showed the least net increase in average number of visits per week to the home page of its website is 


From 2000 to 2010, the company which had the greatest net increase in the average number of visits per week was Company F, from 4,000 to 70,000, resulting in a net increase of 66,000. This is easily noticeable because all other companies had 40,000 visits or less even at the end of the period.

The company with the least net increase was Company E, going from 300 to 9,000, resulting in a net increase of 8,700. This is also easily noticeable because all other companies showed an increase from high hundreds or low thousands to tens of thousands over that period.­
­Bunuel Question says, ''The vertical axis is in power of 10''. Which means values are going from 10^4k to 10^70k, right?

­Hi gmat2324

The information is provided to make candidate understand that the scale is logarthmic scale not linear scale

For example, 100 --- 200 --- 300 --- 400 --- 500 --- 600 --- 700 --- 800 --- 900 --- 1000 -----2000-----3000 & so on....

For example, considering it a linear scale, Company C has higher slope compared to other companies & answer will be C

But because of logarthmic mature ansewer to Blank 1 is Company F

Also, from thge graph it can be understood anyway that it is logarthmic scale.

-it's Satvik-
I was here, I was solving & I was learning­

It looks like 5-seconds question. Since it's logarithmic scale and all companies have similar slope (trend) - the highest one has the highest net increase. Same for the least increase. Correct me please if I'm wrong.

You are absolutely right. Since it is logarithmic scale, with every tiny increase on y axis, it is increasing by a lot more amount-wise. Since all lines have similar slopes, the one at the top has max increase and the one at the bottom has min. increase.
