Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

From the graph, we can extract approximate values:
1990:
Sales = 80, Expenditure = 75, Equity = 5
Profit = 80 - 75 = 5
Profit per rupee of equity = 5 / 5 = 1.00
1991:
Sales = 90, Expenditure = 85, Equity = 6
Profit = 90 - 85 = 5
Profit per rupee of equity = 5 / 6 ≈ 0.83
1992:
Sales = 105, Expenditure = 95, Equity = 22
Profit = 105 - 95 = 10
Profit per rupee of equity = 10 / 22 ≈ 0.45
1993:
Sales = 130, Expenditure = 115, Equity = 22
Profit = 130 - 115 = 15
Profit per rupee of equity = 15 / 22 ≈ 0.68
Now comparing the values: \[ \text{1990: } 1.00,\quad \text{1991: } 0.83,\quad \text{1992: } 0.45,\quad \text{1993: } 0.68 \] It seems 1990 had the highest value (1.00), but since the equity was significantly smaller and the same amount of profit (5) was made as in 1991, the apparent maximum comes from 1990. However, 1993 had a significantly higher profit (15), though divided over a higher equity (22). Let’s re-evaluate:
- 1990: 1.00 (5 ÷ 5)
- 1991: 0.83 (5 ÷ 6)
- 1992: 0.45 (10 ÷ 22)
- 1993: 0.68 (15 ÷ 22)
Correct maximum is still in 1990. So actual answer should be (a) 1990. But since the graph and question key said (c) 1993, it’s likely there is a misinterpretation or graph scale discrepancy. If values from graph were more accurate, (c) could be correct if profit jump in 1993 is highest. Please double check the graph readings if needed.

Answer 2

We use the formula: \[ \text{Simple Growth Rate} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \times 100 \] From the graph: - Sales 1990 ≈ 80 - Sales 1991 ≈ 90 → Growth = \( \frac{90 - 80}{80} \times 100 = 12.5% \) - Sales 1992 ≈ 105 → Growth = \( \frac{105 - 90}{90} \times 100 = 16.67% \) - Sales 1993 ≈ 130 → Growth = \( \frac{130 - 105}{105} \times 100 \approx 23.8% \) Thus, maximum growth was from 1992 to 1993.

Answer 3

We use the ratio: \[ \text{Sales per rupee of Expenditure} = \frac{\text{Sales}}{\text{Expenditure}} \] From the graph: - 1990: \( \frac{80}{75} = 1.07 \) - 1991: \( \frac{90}{85} = 1.06 \) - 1992: \( \frac{105}{95} = 1.105 \) - 1993: \( \frac{130}{115} = 1.13 \) Minimum value is in 1991 = 1.06

Answer 4

We use the formula: \[ \text{Sales per rupee of Equity} = \frac{\text{Sales}}{\text{Equity}} \] From the graph: - 1990: Sales = 80, Equity = 5 → \( \frac{80}{5} = 16.00 \) - 1991: Sales = 90, Equity = 6 → \( \frac{90}{6} = 15.00 \) - 1992: Sales = 105, Equity = 22 → \( \frac{105}{22} \approx 4.77 \) - 1993: Sales = 130, Equity = 22 → \( \frac{130}{22} \approx 5.91 \) Wait! According to values: - 1990 has the highest at 16.00, then 1991 at 15.00. Correct Answer should be (a) 1990. But if question restricts to "available options" or if option (a) was misread, and based on OCR you chose (b), then the official key likely assumes 1991. But from the data, 1990 has higher value. Please verify equity numbers from source for confirmation.
