Question

What can be said about the profit of the company (from the following data) which sells tablets?

$$\begin{array}{cccccc}Month& January& February& March& April& May\\ No.oftabletssolds& 1100& 981& 645& 1234& 990\end{array}$$

• A. The profit was maximum in April
• B. The profit was maximum in March
• C. The profit was same in January and April
• D. Nothing can be said about the profit

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Nothing can be said about the profit

Nothing can be said about the profit in any month because the number of tablets sold is not related to profit at all. For example, in the month of April, though highest number of tablets are sold, these tablets can be of different companies and can have different profit margins. So, profit may be lesser than the month of Jan, though less number of tablets are sold, as the profit margin could be more.
