2019-20₹600 करोड़ / crores
2020-21₹700 करोड़ / crores

In which year the product Q's profit is the highest, if its sales form $20\%$ of the total sales every year?

This question was previously asked in
UPSSSC PET 2023 Question Paper (28-Oct-2023) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

2020-21

Product Q's profit is 20% of total company sales minus Q's advertising expenditure. For 2016-17 it is \(0.20(450)-75=15\) crore, while for 2020-21 it is \(0.20(700)-50=90\) crore. The latter is the highest among the listed years, so the answer is 2020-21.
