If the expenditure on Advertisement is ₹ 2.10 crores, then the difference between the expenditures on Transport and Taxes is:
(a)₹ 1.25 crores
(b)₹ 95 lakhs
(c)₹ 65 lakhs
(d)₹ 35 lakhs
(e)₹ 25 lakhs
Answer
Explanation
Let the total expenditure be ₹ $x$ crores. Then $15 \%$ of $x=2.10$ $$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{15 \times x}{100}=2.10 \Rightarrow 15 x=(2.10 \times 100) \\ & \Rightarrow 15 x=210 \\ & \Rightarrow x=\frac{210}{15}=14 \end{aligned}$$ ∴ Total expenditure $=₹ 14$ crores. (Expenditure on Transport) - (Expenditure on Taxes) $$\begin{aligned} & =₹\{(12.5-10) \% \text { of } 14 \text { crores }\} \\ & =₹\left(\frac{2.5}{100} \times 14\right) \text { crores } \\ & =₹ \frac{35}{100} \text { crores } \\ & =₹\left(\frac{35}{100} \times 100 \text { lakhs }\right)=₹ 35 \text { lakh. } \end{aligned}$$
