Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company

Q1:

If the interest on loans amounted to Rs. 2.45 crores then the total amount of expenditure on advertisement, taxes and research and development is?

A Rs. 7 crores

B Rs. 5.4 crores

C Rs. 4.2 crores

D Rs. 3 crores

ANS:C - Rs. 4.2 crores

Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores. Then, 17.5% of x = 2.45     =>     x = 14. Therefore Total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores. and so, the total expenditure on advertisement, taxes and Research and Development     = Rs. [(15 + 10 + 5)% of 14] crores     = Rs. [30% of 14] crores     = Rs. 4.2 crores.
