2.2

Profit in 2003=40

Income=Exp+Profit=80+55=135cr.

Per cent = 80*100/135 = 59.25%

3.1

Expenditure in 2001=Expenditure in 2003 =60-25=35

∴ Income in 2001=35+40=75

4.3

Profit in 2005=75

Profit in 2004=70

% increase = (75-70)*100/70 = 7%

5.5

Income=120

Profit =50

Expenditure=120-50=70

Req. Percent = 50*100/70 = 71%
