Calculation:

Dutch-speaking people in West Bengal is 1444

After a 25 % increase in numbers, the  increased number will be,

1444 + 1444 × 1 / 4 

⇒ 1444 + 361 = 1805

The number of German-speaking people in Maharashtra was 1705

After a 20 % increase in numbers, the  increased number will be,

1705 + 1705 / 5 

⇒ 1705 + 341 = 2046

So, Now the difference will be 2046 - 1805 = 241

The difference in numbers between Dutch-speaking people in West Bengal and the German-speaking people in Maharashtra is 241
