Expenditure of Godrej = x × 100/(100 + 60) = 5x/8
Expenditure of Samsung =x × 100/(100 + 50) = 2x/3
Ratio = 5x/8 × 3/2x
= 15/16
= 15 : 16

 

2. The expenditure of Samsung in the year 2004 is what percentage of its income in that year?

Ans:3
Let the expenditure of Samsung be x.
Income = x × 160/100
% = x/8x /5 × 100
= 100x × 5/8x
= 62.5%

 

3. If the income of Godrej in the year 2008 and the expenditure of Samsung in the year 2003 are 98 lakh and 85 lakh respectively, what is the sum of the expenditure of Godrej in 2008 and the income of Samsung in the year 2003?

Income of Godrej = 98
Expenditure of Godrej = 98 × 100/100 + 40 = 9800/100 + 40
= 70 1akh
Expenditure of Samsung = 85
Income of Samsung = 85 × (100 + 40)/100 = 11900/100
= 119 lakh
Sum = 70 + 119
= 189 lakh

 

4. What is the percentage increase in the per cent profit of Godrej from the year 2004 to 2005?

Ans:4
Required % = (60 – 45)/45 × 100 = 15/45*100

Expenditure of Godrej = 90 × 100/100 + 25 = 9000/125
= 72 lakh
Expenditure of Samsung = 90 lakh
Income of Samsung = 90 × (100 + 20)/100 = 10800/100
