Correct Answer: (1)

Solution: (1)

Expenditure of company X = Rs. x crores

Income of company X = Rs. y crores

40=yxx×100

4x=100y100x

140x=100y ….(i)

For company Y,

45=(342yxx)×100

145x=34200100y

100y=34200145x….(ii)

From equations (i) and (ii),

140x=34200145x

285x=34200

x=34200285= Rs. 120 crores

Total expenditure = Rs. 240 crores
