    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    Total income of all five companies

        = (35 + 50 + 40 + 40 + 50) million US $

        = 215 million US $.

    Total expenditure of all five companies

        = (45 + 40 + 45 + 30 + 45) million US $

        = 205 million US $.

     Therefore % Profit  = \([\frac { (215 -205) } { 205 } \) x 100] % = 4.88% ~= 5%.
