Answer 1

The correct option is D

1600

Let us add the total revenue column using the relation $TR=P\times Q$

$\begin{array}{ccc}Price\left(Rs\right)& Quantity& TR\\ 7& 100& 700\\ 6& 200& 1200\\ 5& 300& 1500\\ 4& 400& 1600\\ 3& 500& 1500\end{array}$

We can see that maximum revenue of the firm is Rs 1600.
