Correct Answer: Rs. 35 lakhs


Solution : Let the total expenditure be Rs. $100x$.
According to the question,
Interest on Advertisement = 15%
$\frac{15}{100} \times 100x = 21000000$
$⇒15x=21000000$
$⇒x=14,00,000$
Total expenditure = 14,00,00,000
Expenditure on taxes = 10% = $\frac{10}{100} \times 14,00,00,000$ = 1,40,00,000
Expenditure on transport = $\frac{12.5}{100} \times 14,00,000$ = 1,75,00,000
Required difference = 1,75,00,000 – 1,40,00,000 = Rs. 35,00,000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 35 lakhs.
