• B. Rs.645900
• C. Rs.649400
• D. Rs.649500
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Rs.649500

Number of mobile phones sold in the month of October = 45000 x $\frac{8}{100}$ = 3600

$\therefore$Number of mobile phones sold by Company B in the month of October = 3600 x $\frac{5}{12}$ = 1500

$\therefore$Total profit earned by Company B in the month of October = 1500 x 433 = Rs.649500
