On the basis of given graph in question ,
Total income of companies M and N = Rs. (35 + 50) crores = Rs. 85 crores
Total expenditure of companies M and N = Rs. (45 + 40) crores = Rs. 85 croresCorrect Option: A
On the basis of given graph in question ,
Total income of companies M and N = Rs. (35 + 50) crores = Rs. 85 crores
Total expenditure of companies M and N = Rs. (45 + 40) crores = Rs. 85 crores

Income of company Q in 2001 = Rs. 40 crores
Expenditure of company Q in 2001 = Rs. 30 crores
Profit of Q = 40 - 30 = 10 croresProfit percent of company Q = 10 × 100 30 Profit percent of company Q = 100 = 33 1 % 3 3
- If the income of company Q in 2001 was 10% more than that in 2000 and the company had earned a profit of 20% in 2000, then its expenditure in 2000 (in crores Rs.) was :

As per the given bar graph ,
Income of company Q in 2001 = Rs. 40 crores
From question , we haveIncome of company Q in 2000 = 100 × 40 = Rs. 400 crores 110 11
If expenditure in 2000 be Rs. y crores,Profit % = Income – Expenditure × 100 Expenditure Profit % = ( 400 / 11 ) - y × 100 y ⇒ 20 = 1 = 400 - 11y 100 5 11y
Correct Option: E
