Correct Answer: 41.25
Solution :
As per the graph,
Let the expenditure of the company R in the year 2000 = Rs. $x$ crore
If the expenditure had increased by 20% in the year 2001 from the year 2000.
$⇒(1+\frac{20}{100}) × x = 45$
$⇒\frac{120}{100}x = 45$
$⇒x = 37.5 $
Profit = 10%
So, income = 110% of 37.5 = 41.25 crore
Hence, the correct answer is 41.25.
