Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The given bar chart data presents the revenue (in lakhs) for products X, Y, and Z over the years 2010 to 2013. Our task is to determine the year with the highest total revenue. We will sum the revenue from all products for each year and compare the totals.

Year	Product X	Product Y	Product Z	Total Revenue
2010	50	40	30	120
2011	60	50	40	150
2012	70	60	50	180
2013	80	55	45	180

Calculation:

• 2010: 50 + 40 + 30 = 120 lakhs
• 2011: 60 + 50 + 40 = 150 lakhs
• 2012: 70 + 60 + 50 = 180 lakhs
• 2013: 80 + 55 + 45 = 180 lakhs

Comparing these totals, the highest values are in 2012 and 2013, with both at 180 lakhs. Therefore, the total revenue is equally highest in 2012 and 2013.
