Correct Answer: INR 4.2 crores
Solution :
Let the total expenditure be INR $100x$.
According to the question,
Interest on Loans = 17.5%
$\frac{17.5}{100} \times 100x = 24500000$
$⇒17.5x=24500000$
$⇒x=1400000$
Total expenditure = 14,00,00,000
Expenditure on advertisement = 15%
Expenditure on taxes = 10%
Expenditure on research = 5%
Total expenditure = 15 + 10 + 5 = 30%
The total amount of expenditure on advertisement, taxes, and research and development is $140000000 \times \frac{30}{100}$ = INR 4,20,00,000 = INR 4.2 crores
Hence, the correct answer is INR 4.2 crores.
