Answer: (1)

Solution: (1)

Sales in city H in 2016 $=87600 \times \frac{26}{100}=Rs. 22776$

Total charges incurred in 2016 $=22776 \times 9=Rs. 204984$

Sales in city H in 2017 $=96900 \times \frac{29}{100}=28101$

Total charges incurred in 2017 $=28101 \times 11= Rs. 309111$

Required difference $=$ Rs. $(309111 - 204984)$ $= Rs. 104127$
