What is the difference between the average profit of B and A in the year 1998 ? (a) – Rs. 100

Question

The following graph shows the average profit of two fruit-sellers A and B in thousands (Rs.) per year from the year 1995 to 2000. Consider the graph and answer the 4 (four) items that follow :

What is the difference between the average profit of B and A in the year 1998 ? 

(a) – Rs. 100 (b) – Rs.1,000 (c) + Rs. 600 (d) – Rs. 300

Answer 1

(c) From the graph, we observe that the difference between points A & B is more than half of 1000, but less than 1000.

∴ 500 < |Difference between A and B| < 1000. From the option, + 600 satisfies this condition.
