Out of the two bar graphs provided below, one shows the amount (in Lakh Rs.) invested by a Company in purchasing raw materials over the years and the other shows the values (in Lakh Rs.) of finished goods sold by the Company over the years.
The maximum difference between the amount invested in raw materials and value of sales of finished goods was during the year:
- A1995
- B1996
- C1997
- D1998
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
To find the year with the maximum difference between the amount invested in raw materials and the value of sales of finished goods, we calculate the absolute difference for each year:
* In 1995:
* In 1996:
* In 1997:
* In 1998:
* In 1999:
* In 2000:
Comparing these differences, the maximum difference is , which occurred in the year 1997.
* In 1995:
* In 1996:
* In 1997:
* In 1998:
* In 1999:
* In 2000:
Comparing these differences, the maximum difference is , which occurred in the year 1997.
