From the given bar diagram , we see
Total expenditure in 1997-98 = 8800 million
Total expenditure in 1993-94 = 5100 million
Required increase = Total expenditure in 1997-98 - Total expenditure in 1993-94Correct Option: D
From the given bar diagram , we see
Total expenditure in 1997-98 = 8800 million
Total expenditure in 1993-94 = 5100 million
Required increase = Total expenditure in 1997-98 - Total expenditure in 1993-94
∴ Required increase = (8800 – 5100) million = 3700 million

On the basis of given graph in question ,
Profit percent = Gross Traffic profit - Total expenditure × 100 Gross Traffic profit ⇒ Total expenditure Gross Traffic profit = 1 - 10 = 0.9 100
Correct Option: C
On the basis of given graph in question ,
Profit percent = Gross Traffic profit - Total expenditure × 100 Gross Traffic profit ⇒ Total expenditure Gross Traffic profit = 1 - 10 = 0.9 100
According to question,
Total expenditure = 5800∴ Gross Traffic profit = 5800 = $ 6444 million 0.9

From the given bar diagram , we see
In year 1997-98 ,
Gross Traffic Receipt = 9400
Total expenditure = 8800
Change = 9400 - 8800 = 600Profit percent of Gross Traffic Receipt = 600 × 100 = 6.38% 9400
In year 1995-1996 ,
Gross Traffic Receipt = 7500
Total expenditure = 5900
Change = 7500 - 5900 = 1600
Correct Option: C
From the given bar diagram , we see
In year 1997-98 ,
Gross Traffic Receipt = 9400
Total expenditure = 8800
Change = 9400 - 8800 = 600Profit percent of Gross Traffic Receipt = 600 × 100 = 6.38% 9400
In year 1995-1996 ,
Gross Traffic Receipt = 7500
Total expenditure = 5900
Change = 7500 - 5900 = 1600Profit percent of Gross Traffic Receipt = 1600 × 100 = 21.33% 7500
- If profit » gross traffic receipts— total expenditure, then in 1996- 97, what percentage of gross traffic receipts is the profit made?

According to given bar graph , we have
Gross Traffic Receipt = 8500
Total expenditure = 8000
Profit in year 1996-97 = Gross Traffic Receipt – Total expenditure
Profit in year 1996-97 = 8500 – 8000 = 500
Therefore,Profit percent of Gross Traffic Receipt = Profit in year 1996-97 × 100 Gross Traffic Receipt
Correct Option: A
According to given bar graph , we have
Gross Traffic Receipt = 8500
Total expenditure = 8000
Profit in year 1996-97 = Gross Traffic Receipt – Total expenditure
Profit in year 1996-97 = 8500 – 8000 = 500
Therefore,Profit percent of Gross Traffic Receipt = Profit in year 1996-97 × 100 Gross Traffic Receipt Profit percent of Gross Traffic Receipt = 500 × 100 = 5.9% 8500
- What is the percentage increase in the gross traffic receipts in 1995-96 as compared to 1993-94?

On the basis of given graph in question ,
The gross traffic receipts in 1995-96 = $ 7500 million
The gross traffic receipts in 1993-94 = $ 5300 million
Increase = 7500 - 5300 = $ 2200 millionRequired percent increase = Increase × 100% The gross traffic receipts in 1993-94
Correct Option: B
On the basis of given graph in question ,
The gross traffic receipts in 1995-96 = $ 7500 million
The gross traffic receipts in 1993-94 = $ 5300 million
Increase = 7500 - 5300 = $ 2200 millionRequired percent increase = Increase × 100% The gross traffic receipts in 1993-94 Required percent increase = 7500 - 5300 × 100 = 41.5% 5300
