    Direction: The following pie-charts give the values of the sales and expenses of five companies -A, B, C, D and E - as a percentage of the total sales and expenses of these five companies put together.
    Note: (i) Profit = Sales - Expenses (ii) Profit Percentage = (Profit/Expenses) \[\times \]100 (iii) No company made a loss.
     

    If the total sales was Rs. 700 crore and the overall percentage of profit of all the five companies put together was 110%, what was the approximate expense of Company C?

    A)  Rs. 52.25 crore             

    B)  Rs. 66.66 crore             

    C)  Rs. 29.72 crore 

    D)  Rs. 40.40 crore             

    E)  Rs. 71.67 crore

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Total expenses of all the companies together \[=Sales\times \frac{100}{(100+\text{Profit}%)}\] \[=700\times \frac{100}{100+110}=700\times \frac{100}{210}\] = Rs. 333.33 crore \[\therefore \] Expenses of Company\[C=333.33\times \frac{20}{100}\] = Rs. 66.66 crore
