Profit in 2007 = 5x/4
Profit in 2008 = 6/5 * 5x/4 = 3x/2 = 3.63 lakh

8) Answer (E)
The average percentage rise in profits over all the years for company L is average of the 6 years values ie. sum of each years value divided by 6 = 150/6 = 25%.

9) Answer (A)
The graphs show the percentage rise in profits. So, the profits for the two companies are
increasing from 2004 to 2009. So, the highest profit by both the companies is made in 2009 and the least profit in 2004.
Consider statement A: M made the highest profit in 2009. This statement is true.
Consider statement B: L made the least profit in 2005. This statement is false.
So, the answer is option a) (Since option e) is not true anymore).

10) Answer (C)
Percent rise in profit of company M in 2008 = 20%
Percent rise in profit of company M in 2009 = 30%
Percentage increase = (30-20)/20 * 100 = 50%
