    Explanation

    Profit earned = (Investment × Profit percentage) ÷ 100 Profit percentage of A in 2010 = 90% Profit percentage of B in 2010 = 70% Given Investment of both companies = 25 lakhs ⇒ Profit earned by A in 2010 = (25 × 90)/100 = 22.5 lakhs ⇒ Profit earned by B in 2010 = (25 × 70)/100 = 17.5 lakhs Total profit earned by A and B in 2010 = 22.5 + 17.5 = 40 lakhs ∴ Average profit of A and B in 2010 = 40/2 = 20 lakhs
