 Percent profit earned six companies over the years. Company /year P Q R S T U 2004 11 12 3 7 10 6 2005 9 10 5 8 12 6 2006 4 5 7 13 12 5 2007 7 6 8 14 14 7 2008 12 8 9 15 13 5 2009 14 12 11 15 14 8
(Bank Of India 2010)
1.  If the profit earned by Company R in the year 2008 was Rs. 18.9 lakhs, what was the income in that year?

d)Rs. 228.9 lakhs                     e) None of these
Explanation: Let the cost of production be CP.
The profit% earned by company R in the year 2008 = 9%
Profit => 9% = 18.9  lakhs
Cost of production => 100% = $\frac{ 18.9/times lakhs}{9}$ x 100% =  210 lakhs
Income = Cost of production + Profit
= 210 lakhs + 18.9 laksh = 228.9 lakhs

a) 42%             b) 35%             c) 26%             d) 48%             e) 40%
Explanation :
Percentage profit in the year 2004 = 10    Percentage profit in the year 2009 = 14
Percentage increase = $\frac{14-10}{10}$ X  100 = 40

3. If the profit earned by Company P in the year 2007 was is. 2.1 lakhs, what was its expenditure in that year?

a) 13.5 b) 11                c) 12                d) 14                e) None of these
= $\frac{ (7+ 8 +13+14+15+15 )}{6}$ = $\frac{72}{6}$ = 12%
=$\frac{9+5+8+12+6}{5}$ = $\frac{40}{5}$ =8%
