Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Step 1: Read values from the graph (in million rupees): 2014 = 500, 2015 = 700, 2016 = 800, 2017 = 600, 2018 = 400.
Step 2: Compute total revenue over 2014–2018:
Total revenue = 500 + 700 + 800 + 600 + 400 = 3000 million rupees.
Step 3: Compute total expenditure for five years:
Total expenditure = 5 × 500 = 2500 million rupees.
Step 4: Find aggregate profit and its percentage on total expenditure.
Aggregate profit = Total revenue − Total expenditure = 3000 − 2500 = 500 million rupees.
Profit percentage = (Aggregate profit / Total expenditure) × 100 = (500 / 2500) × 100 = 20%.
Answer: 20% profit.
