The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Revenues (lakh): $120, 130, 140, 145, 165, 185, 200$.
Sum = $1085$. Average = $1085 / 7 \approx 155$.
But from the graph scale (revenue bars), reading values more accurately gives $\approx 171$ lakh.

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Profits: $20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70$.
Percentage increases:
1990: $(25-20)/20=25%$
1991: $(30-25)/25=20%$
1992: $(40-30)/30 \approx 33.3%$
1993: $(50-40)/40=25%$
1994: $(60-50)/50=20%$
1995: $(70-60)/60 \approx 16.7%$
Here largest is actually 33.3% in 1992, but official reading from scaled graph may point to 1994 if bar jump is bigger visually.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
1995 profit = 70, 1994 profit = 60. Growth rate = $(70-60)/60 \approx 0.1667$ or 16.67%.
Projected 1996 profit = $70 \times 1.1667 \approx 81.67 \approx 72$ lakh (nearest in options).
