C.	S	D.	T
E.	R

Answer and Explanation

Answer:T

=> Net profit as a percentage of its sales
=> 56/2500 x 100
=> Similarly net profit as percentage of sales for
=> Q = 28/300 x 100
=> For R = 24/150 x 100
=> For S = 42/350 x 100
=> For T = 57/240 x 100
=> By observation, we can say that the percentage is less than 20 for Q, R and S. therefore, P or T must have the greatest percentage
=> P = 56/240 x 100 = 22.4%
=> T = 57/240 x 100 = 23.75%
It is the highest for company T
