Directions(6-10): Study the following graph carefully to answer the given questions.
The graph shows the profit of companies A, B, C and D in various years.

% profit = [Income – Expenditure]/Expenditure * 100



6. What is the percentage increase in profit of Company C in the year 2008 from the previous year?
   120%
   140%
   150%
   100%
   130%
   Option D
   Profit of Company C in the year 2007 = 300
   Profit of Company C in the year 2008 = 600
   % increase in profit = (600-300)/300 * 100 = 100%

    

7. What is the ratio of the income of Company A to that of Company D in the year 2011, if their expenditures are 15000 and 22000 respectively?
   111:122
   199:225
   110:133
   155 : 229
   110:147
   Option D
   Income of Company A in the year 2011 = (15000 + 500)
   = 15500
   Income of Company D in the year 2011 = (22000 + 900)
   = 22900
   Required ratio = 15500 : 22900 = 155 : 229

    

8. If in the year 2009 incomes of both the companies A and B are the same ie 10000, what was the ratio of their expenditures in that year?
   99:97
   82:85

   Option D
   In 2009 profit of Company A = 800
   Profit of Company B = 900
   Income of Company A = 10000
   Expenditure of Company A = 10000 – 800 = 9200
   Expenditure of Company B = 10000 – 900 = 9100
   Required ratio = 9200 : 9100 = 92 : 91

    

9. If the income of Company A in the year 2009 is 25000 and that in the year 2012 is 32000 then what is the average expenditure for the year 2009 and 2012?

   Expenditure of Company A in the year 2009 = 25000 – 800
   = 24200
   Expenditure of Company A in the year 2012 = 32000 – 900 = 31100
   Average expenditure in both years = 24200 + 31100 ×1/2 = 27650

    

10. What is the ratio of the percentage profit of Company C in the year 2010 to that of Company B in the year 2012 if the income is 45000 and 65000 of Company C in the year 2010 and Company B in the year 2012 respectively?

    Income of Company C in the year 2010 = 45000
    Profit = 800
    Expenditure = 45000 – 800 = 44200
    % profit = (45000 – 44200)/ 44200*100 =1.80
    Income of Company B in the year 2012 = 65000
    Profit = 700
    Expenditure = 65000 – 700 = 64300
    %profit (65000- 64300)/ 64300*100 =1.08
    Required ratio = 1.80 : 1.08 = 5 : 3
