Step-wise-Step Explanation:
From 2013 ➝ 2014:
Initially weight was 72 kg.
Finally the weight is 81 kg.
Net Increase in wt. = 81 kg - 72 kg = 9 kg
% Increase in wt. = Net Increase/Initial wt. × 100
= 9 kg / 72 kg × 100 %
= 1/8 × 100 %
= 12.5% (Ans-1)

From 2014 ➝ 2015:
Initially weight was 81 kg.
Finally weight was 76.5 kg.
Net loss in weight = 81 kg - 76.5 kg = 4.5 kg
% loss in weight = Net loss/Initial wt. × 100
= 4.5 kg / 81 kg × 100
= 9 / 162 × 100
= 1/18 × 100
= 5.56% (Ans-2)

Overall change in weight in 2 years:
Weight at the beginning of 2013 = 72 kg
Weight at the beginning of 2015 = 76.5 kg
The worthy has increased in 2 years.
Net increase = 76.5 kg - 72 kg = 4.5 kg
% increase in wt. = Net Increase/Initial wt. × 100
= 4.5 kg / 72 kg × 100
= 9 / 144 × 100
= 100 / 16 %
= 6.25 % increase (Ans-3)
