In 2011, Plasma - a pharmaceutical company - allocated Rs

4.5 × 10^7

for Research & Development. In 2012, the company allocated

1.95 × 10^8

, for the same. If each year the funds are evenly divided among

2 × 10^2

departments, how much more will each department receive this year than it did last year?

Solution:

In 2011 money allocated to the company = Rs

4.5 × 10^7

Money divided in each department

={4.5×10^7}/{2×10^2}

= Rs 2,25,000
In 2012, money allocated to the company = Rs

1.95 × 10^8

Money divided in each department

={1.95×10^8}/{2×10^2}

= Rs 9,75,000
The extra amount received by the department = 9,75,000 - 2,25,000 = Rs 7,50,000

= 7.5 × 10^4
