Income of Airtel in 2016-17 $=$ Rs. $\left(500000 \times \frac{115}{100} \times \frac{117}{100}\right)$crores $=$ Rs. 672750 crores

Expenditure of Airtel in 201516 $=$ Rs. $\left(500000 \times \frac{100}{112}\right)$ crores $=$ Rs. 446428 crores

$\therefore$ Required per cent $=\left(\frac{672750-446428}{446428}\right) \times 100$ $=\frac{22632200}{446428} \approx 51 \%$
