ii) In$2000$, the number of trucks purchased was the minimum.

iii) Total number of trucks purchased in the year $1999$ $=7.5\times 10$

$=75$

$\therefore$The total number of trucks purchased in the year $1999$ is $75$

iv) Cost of $1$ truck $=Rs.5$ lakh

number of trucks purchased in the year $2000$ $=4\times 10$

$=40$

$\therefore$The money spent to purchase trucks in the year $2000$ $=40\times 5$

$=200lakh$

$\therefore$ The money spent to purchase trucks in the year $2000=Rs.2crore$

v) The total number of trucks purchased in six years $=\left(7+6+8.5+6+7.5+4\right)\times 10$

$=39\times 10$
