The following pie charts show the distribution of the total number of couriers (Chart-1), Revenue Generated (Chart-2) and Total Cost (Chart-3) for the different modes of transport for the year 2006.

Assume that the only cost involved was that incurred on transport.

 Q. Common Information Question: 2/4 Through which mode of transport does ABC Ltd. generate maximum profit in the year 2006?
 ✖ A. Rail ✖ B. Road ✖ C. Air ✔ D. Data Insufficient

Solution:
Option(D) is correct

Let the Total Cost be $360C$ while the Revenue Generated be $360R$ for ABC Ltd. in the year 2006.

Profit generated by,

Road transport, $= 72R – 72C$

Rail transport, $= 108R – 90C$

The profit generated is a function of $R$ and $C$ whose value are not known.

So the answer cannot be determined.
