Explanation:

The two companies that are excluded from the graph 3 are B and D.

∴ Operating Profit of B = $\left(\frac{-4.2}{100}\times 240\right)$ = -10.08

∴ Operating Profit of D = $\left(\frac{-2.1}{100}\times 250\right)$ = -5.25

Average operating profit of B and D in F.Y. 2001-2002 

$=\frac{-10.08-5.25}{2}$ = -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).
