2. (A)

Amount spent on bricks, steel and cement

= [(54+54+72)/360]*100 = 50%

3. (B)

% of amount spent on timber with respect to the amount spent on cement

= (36/72)*100 = 50%

(a) 10000 (b) 18000

10. What are the ratio of expenditure on education and housing?

(a) 2:7 (b) 7:2

Answers with Explanation:

1. (b) :

Average income = (30 + 50 + 40 + 60 + 60)/ 5= 48 lakhs

Total average Profit = [(30 -20) + (50 – 30) + (40 – 30) + ( 60 – 40) + (60 – 35)]/ 5

è 17 lakhs

Ratio = 48 : 17

2. (a) :

The profit in year 1982 = 30 – 20 = 10 lakhs

The profit in year 1986 = 60 – 35 = 25 lakhs

Increase in profit = 25 – 10 = 15 lakhs

Percentage increase in profit = (15 x 100) / 10 = 150%

3. (a) :

Total income = 30 + 50 + 40 + 60 + 60 = 240 lakhs

Total expenditure = 20 + 30 + 30 + 40 + 35 = 155 lakhs

Total income total expenditure = 240 – 155 = 85 lakhs

4. (c) :

The profit in year 1983 = 50 – 30 = 20 lakhs

Profit in the year 1984 = 40 – 30 = 10 lakhs

Difference = 20 – 10 = 10 lakhs

5. (c) :

The average income of the given years

è (30 + 50 + 40 + 60 + 60)/ 5 = 240 /5 = 48 lakhs

There are 3 years ( 1983, 1985, 1986) in which the income is more than the average of the given years.

6. (c) :

∴ Amount of saving , 60⁰ = Rs 8000

∴Amount on food , 120⁰ = 8000*120/60 =16000

∴ Amount on housing, 105⁰ = 8000*105/60=14000

Difference between food and housing = 16000-14000 =2000

7. (c) :

∴ Amount of saving, 60⁰ = Rs 8000

Amount on education30⁰= 8000*30/60 = 4000

8. (b) :

The ratio on expenditure on food to the saving = 120⁰: 60⁰ = 2:1

9. (b) :

Amount on education30⁰= 8000*30/60 = 4000

Amount on housing, 105⁰ = 8000*105/60=14000

Total amount of education & housing = 4000 + 14000 = 18000

10. (a) :

4000 : 14000,= 2:7
