The following graph shows the average profit of two fruit-sellers A and B in thousands (₹) per year from the year 1995 to 2000. Consider the graph and answer the 4 (four) items that follow. In which year is the average profit of A and B same?

1. **Understand the Goal**: The question asks for the year when the 'average profit' of A and B is the *same*.\n\n2. **Analyze the Graph Labels**: \n - The X-axis shows the **Year**.\n - The Y-axis explicitly shows **Average profit in thousands (₹)**.\n\n3. **Connect the Dots**: Since the graph already plots 'Average profit', I don't need to calculate anything. I just need to find the year where the value for A equals the value for B.\n\n4. **Visual Inspection**: On a line graph, two values are equal at the point where their lines cross (intersect).\n - Look at the lines for A (thick line) and B (thin line).\n - In 1995, they are apart.\n - In **1996**, the two lines meet at the same point (Value = 4).\n - In 1997 and 1998, they separate again.\n\n5. **Conclusion**: The intersection happens in 1996. Therefore, the average profits are same in 1996.
