Question 94

If the expenditure of company A and B in 2000 were equal and the total income of the two companies was Rs. 5.7 lakhs, what was the total expenditure of the two companies in 2000 ?

Solution

Let e be the expenditure of each of the companies in 2000. If I is the income of A, then income of B = 5.7 - I

So, 40% = (I - e)/e

45% = (5.7 - I - e)/e

=> e = 2

Total expenditure of both the companies = 2 + 2 = 4 lakhs.
