The statements above support which of the following inferences about XYZ Corporation over the last five years?
A. Measured in dollars, the total profits for XYZ Corporation have remained stable over the last five years.
Incorrect - Both the divisions have performed consistently over the last 5 years, but we don't know if they remained stable or grew and we
don't know anything about currecy.
B. Interment Services is an increasingly competitive field, while Toxic Household Products are a largely untapped market.
Incorrect - Wrong assumption made
C. The Toxic Household Products Division yields a lower average profit per transaction than does the Interment Services Division.
Correct - If 1000 transactions are made between both and 20000 in profit between both then the profit/transaction for Toxic household products is 10000/700 while Internet Division is 10000/300
D. XYZ Corporation’s Toxic Household Products line has remained consistent over the past five years.
Incorrect - Refer to point A
E. Most families will, over a given five-year period, spend more money on Interment Services than on Toxic Household Products.
Incorrect - Wrong Assumption

A. Measured in dollars, the total profits for XYZ Corporation have remained stable over the last five years.
We cannot deduce that as we are given the stats in %. Hence the number can be higher also.
B. Interment Services is an increasingly competitive field, while Toxic Household Products are a largely untapped market.
We don't know that.
C. The Toxic Household Products Division yields a lower average profit per transaction than does the Interment Services Division.
Toxic Household Products Division : 70% of the transaction and accounts for 50% of the profit.
Interment Services Division: 30% of the transaction and accounts for 50% of the profit.
We can deduce the same.
D. XYZ Corporation’s Toxic Household Products line has remained consistent over the past five years.
We cannot deduce that.
E. Most families will, over a given five-year period, spend more money on Interment Services than on Toxic Household Products.
Future predictions cannot be made.
