Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. ₹35 lakh.
If the expenditure on an advertisement is ₹2.1 crore
Percentage of advertisement = 15%
⇒ 15% = ₹2.1 × 10000000
⇒ 1% = 1400000
Percentage expenditure on transport = 12.5%
Percentage expenditure on taxes = 10%
Required difference = 12.5% - 10% = 2.5%
So,
⇒ 2.5% = 2.5 × 1400000 = 3500000 = 35 lakh
