Answers and Explanations

Answer 1. (b)

Average profit over the period of 7 years = (20 +25 +30+ 40 +50 +60 +70)/7 = 42.14

Approximately is Rs. 42 lakh.

Answer 2. (A)

Expenses of 7 years = (102 + 110 + 115 + 125 + 135 + 140 + 150) = 877

Revenue of 7 years = (120 + 130 + 145 + 165 + 185 + 200 + 220) = 1165.

∴ required percentage = 877/1165× 100 = 75%approx.

Answer 3. (d)

Profit percentage = (Present profit – previous profit) / previous profit × 100

The table below shows the profit percentage for each year

The lowest percentage increase in profit as compared to the previous year can be observed in the year 1995 which is 16.66%.

Answer 4. (d)

Growth in expenditure over the previous year = (previous expenditure – present expenditure) / previous expenditure × 100

The growth in expenditure is maximum as compared to the previous year in the year 1992 i.e. 8.7%.

Answer 5. (b)

Profit in the year 1994 = 60

Profit in the year 1995 = 70

Percentage growth in profit in year 1995 over 1994 = (10/60) x 100 = 16.66%,

Profit in 1996 will be (16.66% of 70) + 70 = Rs. 82 lakh.
