Question

If the expenditure on advertisement is 2.10 crores then the difference between the expenditure on transport and taxes is?

• A. 33 lakhs
• B. 34 lakhs
• C. 35 lakhs
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

35 lakhs

Let the total expenditure be Rs.x crores.

Then 15% of x = 2.10

x= $(2.10\ast \frac{100}{15})=14$

Total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores

and so, the difference between the expenditures on transport and taxes

= Rs. [(12.5 - 10)% of 14] crores

= Rs. [2.5% of 14] crores

= Rs. 0.35 crores = Rs. 35 lakhs
