  1. In which year was the ratio of sales to capital the lowest?
    1. 1998
    2. 1997
    3. 1996
    4. 1995
Correct Option: C

On the basis of given graph in question ,
Sales in year 1994 = 400
Capital in year 1994 = 200
Sales : capital in 1994 → 2 : 1,
Sales in year 1995 = 500
Capital in year 1995 = 200
Sales : capital in 1995 → 5 : 2,
Sales in year 1996 = 300
Capital in year 1996 = 200
Sales : capital in 1996 → 3 : 2,
Sales in year 1997 = 500
Capital in year 1997 = 300
Sales : capital in 1997 → 5 : 3,
Sales in year 1998 = 800
Capital in year 1998 = 300
Sales : capital in 1998 → 8 : 3
Hence , the ratio of sales to capital is the lowest in year 1996 .
