Answer:

(D) The average receipts for the independent films released during the first half of this year is greater than that of all independent films released last year

Explanation:

If a total of 50 movies were produced last year

During the first half of the year, 20 movies have been released and roughly the same number is expected during the second half. A total of about 40 movies is to be produced this year.

Since Income for the first half of this year is 120% of last year's income and less movies were produced, it means that the average receipts for the independent films released during the first half of this year is greater than that of all independent films released last year.

(A) This option is wrong because if the number of movies produced during the second half is less than the first half, the revenue will be lower.

(B)50 movies were produced last year which is roughly about 25 per half of the previous year compared to 20 movies this first half of year.

(C)No information is given about price of tickets
