The following table shows the Income (in lakh) and percentage (%) profit of a company over the six years from 2017 to 2022. Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow.

Year-wise Income and Profit of a Company

Year	Income (in ₹ lakh)	Profit (%)
2017	120	7.5
2018	160	15
2019	130	22.5
2020	170	17.5
2021	190	20
2022	150	27.5

The median income of the company in the six years from 2017 to 2022 was

The correct option is 155 lakh.

To find the median income of the company over the six years from 2017 to 2022, we first extract the income values for each year from the given table:
- 2017: 120 lakh
- 2018: 160 lakh
- 2019: 130 lakh
- 2020: 170 lakh
- 2021: 190 lakh
- 2022: 150 lakh

Next, we arrange these income values in ascending order:
120, 130, 150, 160, 170, 190

The number of observations (years) is $n=6$, which is an even number.
For an even number of observations, the median is calculated as the average of the two middle terms, which are the ${\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)}^{\text{th}}$ and the ${\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right)}^{\text{th}}$ terms.

Here, the middle terms are the 3^rd and 4^th values in our sorted list:
- 3^rd term = 150 lakh
- 4^th term = 160 lakh

Now, we calculate the average of these two middle values to find the median:
$\text{Median Income}=\frac{150+160}{2}$
$\text{Median Income}=\frac{310}{2}=155\text{lakh}$

Therefore, the median income of the company was 155 lakh.
