[expand title=”Answer & Explanation”]
1.(5) Total expenditure of A = 270
Average expenditure = 270 / 6 = 45
Total expenditure of B = 210
Average expenditure = 210 / 6 = 35
Difference = 45 – 35 = 10
2. (4) In 2001, profit = (60 x 75) / 100 = 45
Income = 60 + 45 = 105 lakhs
3. (4) In 2006 = (25×170) / 100 = 42.5 lakh
Profit = 42.5 – 25 lakh = Rs 17.5 lakhs
In 2004 Profit is 18 lakh
4. (1) In 2004 and 2006
In 2004, income of A = 50 lakhs
In 2004, income of B = 66 lakhs
Req percentage = (66 – 50) / 50 X 100 = 32%
5. (3) In 2004, income of B = 66 lakhs
In 2005, income of A = 54 lakhs
Req Ratio: 66 : 54 = 11 : 9
