Answer: The aggregate result is a 20% loss on total expenditure. Answer: C. 20% loss.

  1. Read and sum revenues from bar graph: From bar graph: revenues for 2014–2018 are approximately 400, 300, 500, 400, 400 million rupees. Total Revenue = 400 + 300 + 500 + 400 + 400 = 2000 million rupees.
  2. Compute total expenditure: Total Expenditure = 500 * 5 = 2500 million rupees.
  3. Compute aggregate profit or loss percentage: Profit/Loss % = (2000 - 2500) / 2500 * 100 = (-500 / 2500) * 100 = -20%. The negative sign indicates a loss of 20%.
