What is the ratio of total expenditure to the total income of all the companies?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 35:74.
Total expenditure = 400 + 700 + 600 + 500 + 1300 = 3500
Total income = (600 + 400) + (1100 + 700) + (900 + 600) + (600 + 500) + (700 + 1300)
= 1000 + 1800 + 1500 + 1100 + 2000
= 7400
Required ratio = 3500 : 7400 = 35 : 74
Hence, the ratio of total expenditure to the total incomes of all the companies is 35 : 74.
