    From the given bar diagram , we see
    Total profit of all the years = 10 + 20 + 10 + 20 + 25 = 85
    Number of years = 5

    Average profit = $ 10 + 20 + 10 + 20 + 25 lakhs
    5

    Correct Option: B

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    Total profit of all the years = 10 + 20 + 10 + 20 + 25 = 85
    Number of years = 5

    Average profit = $ 10 + 20 + 10 + 20 + 25 lakhs
    5

    Average profit = $ 17 lakh
    ∴ Average income = $ 48 lakh
    Required ratio = Average income : Average profit
    Required ratio = 48 : 17
