Solution :

Based on the provided charts and the given note, we can solve the problem step-by-step:

1. Calculate the total profit earned:
From the first pie chart, the total number of tickets sold by all five cinema halls (A, B, C, D, and E) is 200.
According to the note, the average profit of each ticket sold is Rs 30.
Therefore, the total profit earned by all five cinema halls on Sunday is given by:
Total Profit = Total tickets sold × Average profit per ticket
Total Profit = 200 × 30 = Rs 6000

2. Calculate the total profit earned by cinema hall A:
From the second pie chart (Percentage distribution of the profit earned), the percentage share of profit earned by A is 30%.
Thus, the total profit earned by A is:
Profit of A = 30 % of 6000 = 30 100 × 6000 = Rs 1800

3. Calculate the total profit earned by cinema hall F:
The profit earned by F is 33.33% (which is equivalent to 13) more than that of A.
So, the total profit earned by F is:
Profit of F = Profit of A × 1 + 1 3
Profit of F = 1800 × 4 3 = Rs 2400

4. Calculate the number of tickets sold by cinema hall C:
From the first pie chart (Total tickets sold = 200), the percentage of tickets sold by C is 10%.
So, the number of tickets sold by C is:
Tickets sold by C = 10 % of 200 = 20

5. Calculate the total tickets sold by cinema hall F:
We are given that the tickets sold by C is 40% of the total tickets sold by F.
Let TF be the total tickets sold by F.
20 = 40 % of TF
TF = 20 0.40 = 50

6. Find the profit on each ticket sold by F:
The profit per ticket sold by F is the total profit earned by F divided by the total tickets sold by F:
Profit per ticket of F = Total profit of F Total tickets sold by F
Profit per ticket of F = 2400 50 = Rs 48

Thus, the profit on each ticket sold by F is Rs 48.
