Given that each item is sold for a profit of 2 times the number of materials required for the dish.

Hence for different finished products: The cost price and selling price are :

Given that in any hour only either zero or one unit of a single finished product is sold. Hence the price distribution for the first three hours sales distribution is given by :

Additionally, it has been mentioned that no one except Ganga possibly sold Mango smoothies.

Considering Apple Smoothie : (AS), Mango Smoothie : ( M.S), Banana Smoothie : (B. S), Mixed Fruit : (M.F), Fruit Salad : (F.S)

In the last one hour everyone had one unit each of two different materials as leftovers:

Each leftover item is sold at Re1 less than their cost price. Hence

One unit of milk, mango, and apple will cost ₹4, ₹2, ₹1,

The three possible combinations for the last hour in which raw materials can be sold is :

One unit of milk+ One unit of mango = Rs 4+2 = Rs 6.

Envelops: 0.3 million

Fasteners: 0.1 million

Labels: 0.2 million

Paper = 1.5 million.

Storage: 4.3 million.

Supplies: 1.1 million.

The sum of sales of these products = 3.6+0.4+1.9+0.3+0.1+0.2+1.5+4.3+1.1 = 13.4 million.

The closest among the option is 13.5 million.

The percentage increase in sales in the furniture category from 2019 to 2020 are :
