| 2015 | 110 | 158 | 490 | 84 |
Option 1: Rs. 1392 lakhs
Option 2: Rs. 896 lakhs
Option 3: Rs. 2140 lakhs
Option 4: Rs. 748 lakhs
Correct Answer: Rs. 1392 lakhs
Solution :
The total expenditure on transport (in lakh rupees) = 150 + 140 + 145 + 155 + 158 = 748
The total expenditure on salary (in lakh rupees) = 400 + 380 + 420 + 450 + 490 = 2140
The difference between the total expenditure on transport and total expenditure on salary in the given years = 2140 – 748 = 1392 (in lakh rupees)
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1392 lakhs.
