What is the approximate average operating profit, in F.Y. 2001-2002, of the two companies excluded from the third chart?
Answer: A
The two companies that are excluded from the graph 3 are B and D.
∴ Operating Profit of B = = -10.08
∴ Operating Profit of D = = -5.25
Average operating profit of B and D in F.Y. 2001-2002
= -7.6 crore
Hence, option (a).
Alternatively,
The two companies that are excluded from the third chart are B and D. These companies had a negative profitability in the year 2001-02.
∴ Only answer possible is option 1.
Hence, option (a).
