Solution

The correct option is D Cannot be determined
Let the expenditure of company 'A' be Rs a
Then, expenditure of company B = Rs (135.5 - a)lac
Now, $\frac{(I_{1} - a)}{a} \times 100 = 45$ [company A]...(i)
and $\frac{[I_{2} - (13.5 - a)]}{(13.5 - a)} \times 100 = 50$ [company B]...(ii)
Here, we have three unknowns but two equations.
Hence, $I_{1} + I_{2}$ cannot be determined.
