The following line graph gives the annual percent profit earned by a Company during the period 1995 - 2000.
Percent Profit Earned by a Company Over the Years.
| %Profit = | Income - Expenditure | x 100 |
| Expenditure |
6.
During which of the following year was the ratio of income to the expenditure the minimum?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| It is given that : % Profit = | Income - Expenditure | x 100 |
| Expenditure |
 |
% Profit | = | Income | - 1 |
| 100 | Expenditure |
| |
Income | = | % Profit | + 1. |
| Expenditure | 100 |
From this it is clear that the ratio of income to expenditure is minimum for the year in which the % Profit has the minimum value. Since, out of given years (i.e., out of 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000), the Company has the minimum % profit in the year 1997.
So the minimum ratio of income to expenditure is in the year 1997.
