Study the graph carefully to answer the question that follow
Per cent rise in profit of two companies over the years

Question 117

If the profit earned by Company M in the year 2008 was Rs 3.63 lakh what was the amount of profit earned by it in the year 2006 ?

Solution

Let the profit in 2006 be x.

So, the profit in 2007 = x * 1.25 (from the graph, there is a 25% increase in profit in 2007)

Profit in 2008 = x * 1.25 * 1.2

But that is equal to 3.63 lakhs

So, x = 3.63 /(1.25*1.2) = 2.42 lakhs
