The following bar graph shows the monthly profits (in ₹ lakhs) of different companies in the year 2021 and 2022. Study the graph and answer the following question.
What is the ratio of the average profit earned by companies A, B, C and D in the year 2021 to the average profit earned by companies C, D, E and F in the year 2022?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e 606 : 925.
Profits in 2021 for A, B, C, D = 210 + 212 + 450 + 340 = 1212
Average = 1212 ÷ 4 = 303
Profits in 2022 for C, D, E, F = 450 + 490 + 512 + 398 = 1850
Average = 1850 ÷ 4 = 462.5
Ratio = 303 : 462.5
Multiply both by 2 to remove decimal → 606 : 925
