Expenditure on article C is Rs. 5560 more than the expenditure on article A. Il. Ratio of expenditure on article A to the expenditure on article D is 5: 4 respectively. Correct Answer Neither I nor II

Given:

Total expenditure = Rs. 42000

Calculation:

Checking I:

Expenditure on C = (25/100) × 42000 = 10500

Expenditure on A = (12/100) × 42000 = 5040

C - A = 10500 - 5040 = 5460

⇒ Statement I is false

Checking II:

Expenditure on A = 5040

Expenditure on D = (15/100) × 42000 = 6300

A/D = 5040/6300 = 4 : 5

⇒ Statement II is false

∴ Neither I nor II is correct
