Study the following graph to answer the given question.

% Profit=$$\frac{Income - Expenditure}{Expenditure}\times100$$

 

Question 146

For Company X, its income in 2001-02 was equal to its expenditure in 2002-03. What was the ratio of its respective incomes in these two years ?

Solution

Let the income for 2001 -02 and expenditure for 2002 - 03 be x

We use the formula, %profit = 100* (I- E)/E

So, for 2001- 02, we have

40 = 100 * (x - e)/e

For 2002 - 03, we have

50 = 100 * (I - x)/x

So, I = 1.5x

So, x/I = 2/3
