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


4.
If the profit in 1999 was Rs. 4 crores, what was the profit in 2000?
Rs. 4.2 crores
Rs. 6.6 crores
Rs. 6.8 crores
Cannot be determined
Answer: Option
Explanation:

From the line-graph we obtain information about the percentage profit only. To find the profit in 2000 we must have the data for the income or expenditure in 2000.

Therefore, the profit for 2000 cannot be determined.

@All.

So, basically, we can take profit as income, but we don't have data for 2000 income. Hence we cannot find it.

Correct me If I am wrong.
