Confusing the values of different years or mixing up hill station A and B values.
Step 1: Extract data from the table
From the given table, find the number of people who visited hill station A and hill station B in the year 2011. Visitors to A = 777, Visitors to B = 566.
VisitorsAтАЛ=777,VisitorsBтАЛ=566
Step 2: Apply the absolute difference formula
Calculate the absolute difference between the two values by subtracting the smaller value from the larger one.
Absolute┬аDifference=тИг777тИТ566тИг=211
A is correct because the absolute difference between the number of people who visited hill station A (777) and hill station B (566) in the year 2011 is 777тИТ566=211.
