Correct answer: A

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the company with the maximum percentage of profit, we use the formula for profit percentage: Profit Percentage = ((Income - Expenditure) / Expenditure) * 100

  1. Extract Data (Income - Red, Expenditure - Blue):

    • Company M: Income 35, Expenditure 45. (Profit is negative, so skip).

    • Company N: Income 50, Expenditure 40. Profit % = ((50 - 40) / 40) * 100 = (10 / 40) * 100 = 25%.

    • Company P: Income 40, Expenditure 45. (Profit is negative, so skip).

    • Company Q: Income 40, Expenditure 30. Profit % = ((40 - 30) / 30) * 100 = (10 / 30) * 100 = 33.33%.

    • Company R: Income 50, Expenditure 45. Profit % = ((50 - 45) / 45) * 100 = (5 / 45) * 100 = 11.11%.

  2. Conclusion: Comparing the profit percentages:

    • Company N: 25%

    • Company Q: 33.33%

    • Company R: 11.11% The maximum profit percentage is earned by Company Q.
