Solution

Total sale in two weeks $=$ Sale in first week $+$ Sale in second week
$= 2, 85, 891 + 4, 00, 768 = 6, 86, 659$
So, total sale in two weeks is Rs. $6, 86, 659$
Now, Sale on week $1 =$ Rs. $2, 85, 891$
Sale on week $2 =$ Rs. $4, 00, 768$
So, sale on week $2 >$ Sale on week $1$
Let's find the difference in sales of week $2$ and week $1$
$= 4, 00, 768 - 2, 85, 891 = 1, 14, 877$
So, sale on week $2$ is greater than the sale on week $1$ by Rs. $1, 14, 877$
