Direction: Study the bar chart given below and answer the following questions :

  1. For company R, if the expenditure had increased by 20% in the year 2001 from the year 2000 and the company had earned profit of 10% in 2000, the company’s income in 2000 was (in crore Rs.) :
    1. 41.67
    2. 35.75
    3. 37.25
    4. 38.5
    5. None of these
Correct Option: E

According to given bar graph , we have
Expenditure of company R in 2001 = Rs. 45 crores
If expenditure had increased by 20% , then

Expenditure of company R in 2000 =
45 × 100
= Rs. 37.5 crores
120

Let the income of company in 2000 be Rs. y crores.
∴ 10 =
y - 37.5
× 100
37.5

⇒ y – 37.5 =
37.5 × 10
= 3.75
100

⇒ y = 37.5 + 3.75 = Rs. 41.25 crores
