Correct Option: A
Expenditure = Income - Profit
As per given graph in question,
Income in 2005 = 1,42,500 Rs.
Profit in 2005 = 50%
Let expenditure of Company A in 2005 = Rs. E; then
E + E x 50/ 100 =142500
⇒ E + E x 1/2 =142500
⇒ (2E + E)/2 =142500
⇒ 3E =142500 x 2
⇒ E =142500 x 2/ 3
⇒ E = 47500 x 2
⇒ E = Rs. 95000
