Question:

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Explanation:

Let us analyse each of the given statement.

Consider option 1:

The company with the third-lowest profitability in 2001-02 is A and the company showing the lowest operating income in 2002-03 is also A.

∴ Option 1 is true.

Consider option 2:

From graph 1 we can conclude that the combined operating income both the years is highest for D.

Approximate operating profit for D(2002 - 03) = $\left(\frac{1.20}{100}\times 275\right)$ = 2.75

From the 3^rd graph, the operating profits for companies are above 15. These four companies are A, C, E and F.

∴ We have to compare operating profits for D and B.

∴ (Operating Profit)_B = $\left(\frac{2.5}{100}\times 225\right)>$ ((Operating Profit)_D

∴ D shows the lowest operating profit.

∴ Option 2 is also true

Consider option 3:

Company with higher operating income in 2001-02 than in 2002-03 is just one which is B.

B shows higher profitability in 2002-03 than in 2001-02.

∴ Option 3 is also true.

Consider option 4:

Companies with profitability between 10% and 20% in 2001-02 are A, C and E.

Operating income of C is more than 200 crores in 2002-03.

∴ Option 4 is not true.

Hence, option (d).
