The following line graph shows the annual profit percentage earned by a car manufacturing company during the period 2007-2012. In which of the following years was the annual profit percentage closest to the average of the annual profit percentage in all the years given in the graph? Correct Answer 2008 

Calculation:

Average profit percentage of the annual profit percentage in all the years = (40 + 55 + 45 + 65 + 70 + 60) ÷ 6 ≈ 55.83, which is the closest to the one of 2008.

∴ In 2008 the annual profit percentage was the closest to the average of the annual profit percentage in all the years given in the graph.
