how to get the already selected value of dropdown protractor

I have a select tag with some options under it . I select one value out of those along with other field values and move to next page. Once I return to previous page I want to check whether the dropdown value is same as that I selected. How can I get the already selected value using protractor. Can someone please help.

The following code helps me to resolve the issue,now the variable contains the value of the dropdown selected

var dropdownval=element(by.xpath("XpathOfDropdown")).element(by.css('option:checked')).getText();
console.log(dropdownval);

Following @Grasshopper's comment, I read this, and the following worked for me:

expect(element(by.xxxxxx('xxxxxxx')).$('option:checked').getText()).toEqual('xxxxxx')

First select the input, then select the option using css, with the option:selected tag:

var selected = element(by.css('#ID_OF_THE_SELECT option:selected'))
