Answers

1. 3

Req difference in the amount earned = (16/100 * 1000 - 14/100 * 1000 * 7200) * 12

= Rs. 21.168 lakh

2. 5

Req% increase = (7280 - 4240)/4240 * 100 = 72% approx

3. 1

Req Difference = (0.30 * 400 + 0.34 * 600 + 0.32 * 200 + 0.14 * 1000 + 0.16 * 800) - (0.24 * 400 + 0.18 * 600 + 0.32 * 200 + 0.16 * 1000 + 0.28 * 800) = 4

4. 3

Req % increase = (8440 - 6210)/6210 * 100 = 36% approx

5. 2

Req annual rate = {(9250 - 4880)/4880 * 100} * 1/4

= 22.3873 = 22.4% approx

6. 1

Req % increase = (5 - 2)/2 * 100 = 150%

7. 4

Req % = 6/(3 + 5 + 6) * 100 = 42 6/7%

8. 5

Req expenditure = 14 - 6 = Rs. 8 lakhs

9. 1

Req % increase = (3 - 2)/2 * 100 = 50

10. 4
