Calculating Break Even point first deducting the profit from January to September from Total Investment which is 8 crores:

Total Investment Less:1st quarterly profit Less:2nd quarterly profit Gross Total

8,00,00,000 42,81,000 58,80,000 6,98,39,000

-----------------------------------------------------------------3rd quarterly profit (Rs. 68,34,000 ) which is same henceforth on assumption

Therefore Rs. 6,98,39,000/ Rs. 68,34,000 Answer is 10 quarterly months. Net Total is 12 quarters (adding 2 quarters of 1st year)

So Break Even Point is obtained in 12*3m=36 months which is 3 years.
