Answers
1).e Expenditure = (Profit×100)/profit%
Expenditure of company A
= 40/25×100 = Rs. 160 crore
Similarly, in B = (50/12.5)×100 = Rs. 400 crore
In Company C = (30/20)×100 = Rs. 150 crore
In Company D = (20/30)×100 = Rs. 66.67 crore
Total expenditure = 160+400+150+66.67 = 776.67 = 778 crore

2). a Income = [profit (100+p %)]/p%
Income of company A = [60(100+40)]/40
= 210 crore
Income B = [50(100+30)]/30 = Rs. 216.67 crore
Income C = [70(100+20)]/20 = Rs. 420 crore
Income D = [40(100+20)]/20 = 240 crore
Total income = 210+216.67+420+240 = Rs. 1086.67 crore

3).c  Expenditure of company A2010
= (30×100)/15 = Rs. 200 crore
ExpB= (20×100)/25 = Rs. 80 crore
Expc= (40×100)/20 = Rs. 200 crore
ExpD = (10×100)/10 = Rs. 100 crore
Total expenditure = Rs. 580 crore
Total profit = 30+20+40+10 = Rs. 100 crore
Required % = (100/580)×100 = 17.24%

4). e Required ratio:
= [(20/25)×100+(50/12.5)×100+(20/30)×100+(50/30)×100]/[(10/10)×100+(20/30)×100+(60/20)×100+(40/20)×100]
= [80+400+(200/3)+(500/3)]/[(100+(200/3)+300+200]
= (240+1200+200+500)/3×3/300+200+900+60
= 2140/2000 = 107/100 = 107:100

5).a  Required ratio = [(30×120)/20]+[(70×120)/20]/[(40/25)×125)+(60×140)/40]
= (1800+420)/(200+210) = 600/410 = 60:41
