   Option C
   Solution:
   Average revenue of company A = (11600+12800+12800)/3 = 12400
   Average revenue of company B = (10800+11200+10400)/3 = 10800
   So required difference = (12400-10800) = Rs 1600 lakh
2. What is the approximate difference in expenditure (in lakhs) of company A in the year 2016 with respect to 2014?
   A) Rs 866
   B) Rs 849
   C) Rs 885
   D) Rs 871
   E) Rs 834
   
   View Answer

   Option D
   Solution:
   Expenditure of company A in 2016 = (100/114) * 12800 = Rs 11228 lakhs (approx.)
   Expenditure of company A in 2014 = (100/112) * 11600 = Rs 10357 lakhs
   So required difference = 11228 – 10357 = 871 lakhs
3. What is the total profit (approximate in lakhs) earned by both companies in years 2014?
   A) Rs 2135
   B) Rs 2275
   C) Rs 2026
   D) Rs 2427
   E) Rs 2247
   
   View Answer

   Option A
   Solution:
   Revenue of A in 2014 = Rs 11600 lakhs
   So expenditure = (100/112) * 11600 = 10357 lakhs (approx)
   So profit = 11600 – 10357 = 1243 lakhs
   Revenue of B in 2014 = Rs 10800 lakhs
   So expenditure = (100/109) * 10800 = 9908 lakhs
   So profit = 10800 – 9908 = 892 lakhs
   So required total = 1243 + 892 = 2135 lakhs
4. What is the approximate increase/decrease in expenditure (in lakhs) of company B in years 2015 over its previous year?
   A) Rs 84
   B) Rs 157
   C) Rs 234
   D) Rs 106
   E) Rs 92
   
   View Answer

   Option E
   Solution:
   Expenditure of company B in 2015 = (100/112) * 11200 = Rs 10000 lakhs
   Expenditure of company B in 2014 = (100/109) * 10800 = Rs 9908 lakhs (approx.)
   So required difference = 10000 – 9908 = 92 lakhs
   
5. What is the percentage of revenue of both companies in year 2015 with respect to total revenue of both companies in given time period?
   A) 32.67%
   B) 34.48%
   C) 36.38%
   D) 33.83%
   E) 35.26%
   
   View Answer

   Option B
   Solution:
   Revenue of both companies in 2015 = 12800+11200 = 24000
   Revenue of both companies in all the years = 11600 +10800 + 12800 + 11200 + 12800 + 10400 = 69600
   So required % = (24000/69600) * 100 = 34.48%

   View Answer

   Option D
   Solution:
   Let the Sales of D & E in year 2015 is x
   Then Sales of D in 2016 = x * 125/100 = 1.25x
   and that of E in 2016 = x * 145/100 = 1.45x
   So required % = 1.45x/1.25x * 100 = 116%

    Option C
    Solution:
    Sales of D in 2016 = 600000 * 135/100 * 125/100 = 1012500
    Sales of B in 2016 = 600000 * 125/100 * 120/100 = 900000
    So required difference = 1012500 – 900000 = 112500
