Question : 58 of 91

Marks: +1, -0

If the income in the year 1997 was five times the expenditure made in the same year, then the ratio of the profit earned in the year 1991 to the expenditure in the year 1997 was:

11 : 28
44 : 7
28 : 11
7 : 44

Validate

Solution:

Let expenditure in 1997 = I (Income)
Income in 1997 = 5 I
Profit in 1997 = I - E = 5 I - I = 4 I
Expenditure = I (Income) in 1997

={\Profit \in 1997 }/4

= 66/{360×4}

Ratio of profit earned in 1991 to expenditure in year 1997.

=42/360:66/{4×360}

= 42 × 4 : 66 = 28 : 11
