Correct Answer: Y8 > Y6 > Y2


Solution : Here all amounts are in 1000 crore.
For Y2, the profit (before taxes) is 1100 – 850 = 250
After taxes, profit is calculated as:
profit $×$ (1 – $\frac{\text{tax %}}{100}$)
= 250 $×$ (1 – $\frac{22}{100}$) = 250 $×$ 0.78 = 195
For the Y2, the profit after taxes is 195.
For Y6, the profit (before taxes) is 1500 – 1200 = 300
For Y6, profit after taxes = 300 $×$ (1 – $\frac{30}{100}$) = 300 $×$ 0.7 = 210
For Y8, the profit (before taxes) is equal to 1850 – 1400 = 450
For Y8, the profit after taxes = 450 $×$ (1 –$\frac{13}{100}$) = 450 $×$ 0.87 = 391.5
So, the profit for Y8 > Y6 > Y2
Hence, the correct answer is Y8 > Y6 > Y2.
