• A. 11
• B. 11.5
• C. 10.57
• D. 12
• E. 12.5

Answer 1

The correct option is C 10.57

Total expenditure = 27. 5 + 32. 5 + 45 + 40 + 45 + 45 + 25 + 45

= Rs. 260 crores

Total income = 37.5 + 42.5 + 35 + 50 + 40 + 32.5 + 50

= Rs. 287.5 crores

$\therefore$ Required profit $\%$

$=\frac{287.5-260}{260}\times 100$

$=10.57\%$
