Question : The profits of the firm for five years were agreed at Rs.40,000; Rs.60,000; Rs. 30,000 (loss); Rs.10,000 (loss); and Rs.90,000 respectively.
Q. Average profit is Rs ---
Option 1: Rs.30,000
Option 2: Rs.1,50,000
Option 3: Rs.40,000
Option 4: Rs.1,00,000
Correct Answer: Rs.30,000

Average Profit = Total Profits/Number of years = (Rs.40,000 + Rs.60,000 - Rs. 30,000 - Rs.10,000 + 90,000)/5 = Rs.1,50,000/5 = Rs.30,000.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
