If the expenditure on advertisement is 2.10 crores then the difference between the expenditure on transport and taxes is?
A. Rs. 1.25 crores B. Rs. 95 lakhs
C. Rs. 65 lakhs D. Rs. 35 lakhs

Then, 15% of x = 2.10 => x = ( 2.10 x 100 ) = 14. 15 Therefore Total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores and so, the difference between the expenditures on transport and taxes = Rs. [(12.5 - 10)% of 14] crores = Rs. [2.5% of 14] crores = Rs. 0.35 crores = Rs. 35 lakhs

(12.5% of x) = Rs. ( 12.5 x ) . 100 Therefore Difference between the two expenditures = Rs. ( 17.5x - 12.5x ) 100 100 = Rs. ( 5x ) 100 and so, the required percentage = ( 5x/100 x 100 ) % = 40%. 12.5x/100
