The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

We are given a trend line equation for estimating sales over the years. The equation is:
yₚ = 84 + 12(x - 2017), where:
- yₚ is the estimated sales in lakhs
- x is the year

To find the estimated sales for the year 2024, substitute x = 2024 into the equation:

yₚ = 84 + 12(2024 - 2017)
    = 84 + 12 × 7
    = 84 + 84
    = 168

Hence, based on the given linear trend, the estimated sales in the year 2024 is ₹168 lakh.

This means the model predicts a steady increase in sales of ₹12 lakh every year after 2017, and over 7 years (from 2017 to 2024), the increase is ₹84 lakh, which when added to the base value of ₹84 lakh gives ₹168 lakh.
