Question 61
The total expenditure is required to be kept within Rs. 700 lakh by cutting the expenditure on administration equally in all the years. What will be the percentage cut for 1989?
Solution
Total expenditure is = 52.1 + 267.5 + 196.4 + 209.5 = 725.5
So 25.5 will be cut off on administration equally in all years.
Hence in 1989 cut off will be $$\frac{25.5}{4} = 6.375$$
Percentage cut off will be = $$\frac{6.375}{15} \times 100 = 42.5$$
