A) 6.88% loss

B) 4.65% profit

C) 6.48% profit

D) 4% loss

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Total income of all the five companies = (35 + 50 + 40 + 40 + 50) crores =  215 crores,

Total expenditure of all the five companies =  (45 + 40 + 45 + 30 + 45) crores = 205 crores

.'. Profit percent = $\frac{income - expenditure}{expenditure}\times100$

= $\frac{215-205}{205}\times100$ = 4.88%.
