B Correct answer
Explanation

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold = Rs. 7,44,000 - Rs. 6,69,600 = Rs. 74,400. Closing stock (Rs. 50,400) is extra information not needed for this calculation. Option B correctly shows the gross profit. Note that the year ending date is irrelevant to the calculation.
