Solution

Value of Books sold in 1^st week = Rs 2,85,891

Value of books sold in 2^nd week = Rs 4,00,768

Total sale = Sale in 1^st week + Sale in 2^nd week

= 2,85,891 + 4,00,768

The sale for the two weeks together was 6,86,659.

Since 4,00,768 > 2,85,891, sale in 2^nd week was greater than 1^st week.

∴ The sale in 2^nd week was larger than the sale in 1^st week by Rs 1,14,877.
