Ans:  The table displays the average daily consumption of coffee and tea by six employees during AM and PM hours on weekdays. Bhushan exclusively drinks tea, with an average of four cups per day, all consumed in the afternoon. Chaitali prefers coffee, with three cups daily, skewed towards the PM. Evan has an equal affinity for both beverages, consuming two cups of each daily, spread evenly across AM and PM.
Mahmood's preference is for tea, with a daily average of five cups, mostly in the PM, the highest tea consumption among the employees. Sukhwinder enjoys both beverages equally, totaling two cups each, with a preference for tea in the PM. Mohanan has the highest coffee consumption, with four cups, all in the AM and PM, and does not drink tea.
Analyzing the data, tea seems to be the popular choice in the PM, with 10 cups consumed compared to 3 for coffee. In contrast, the AM preference leans towards coffee, with 6 cups consumed versus 5 for tea. Overall, tea is slightly more popular with a total of 15 cups, compared to 14 cups of coffee. The data suggests a potential trend where employees might favor tea in the later part of the day, possibly for its lower caffeine content compared to coffee.

Ans:  The table compares the financial performance of a company for 2019 and 2020, with both estimated and actual figures for 2020 provided. In 2019, the company had a revenue of 270 million INR, with a cost of goods sold (COGS) of 150 million, resulting in a gross profit of 120 million. Operational costs and taxes stood at 14 million and 4 million, respectively, leading to a net income of 102 million.
For 2020, the company estimated a revenue increase to 340 million with COGS at 180 million, projecting a higher gross profit of 160 million. The actual figures for 2020 surpassed expectations significantly, with revenue reaching 430 million and COGS reducing to 160 million, leading to a gross profit of 290 million. Despite higher operational costs and taxes in 2020, the net income more than doubled from the previous year to 266 million. The actual performance in 2020 shows substantial growth and efficiency improvements, surpassing the company's own estimates.
