ANSWERS
1. (2)
Income of Company A in 2001 = (300 * 130)/100 = Rs 390 crore
Income of Company C in 2005 = (300 * 120)/100 = Rs 360 Crore
Total Income = RS 390 + Rs 360 = Rs 750 Crores

2. (4)
Expenditure of Company A in 2004 = Rs 290/116 * 100  = 250 crore
Expenditure of Company B in 2004 = 360/150 * 10 = 240 crore
Difference = 250 – 240 = 10 crore

3. (5) Let the expenditure of Company B be x and company C be y
So x of 124% = y of 120%
Required Ratio  = 30 : 31

4. (1) Let the expenditure of Company A be P and company C be Q

P x 24 =  Q x36

Ratio of their Exp = P/Q = 36/24 = 3:2

5. (2) Req % increase = (24 - 20)/20 = 20%
