2. 1 Income in 2012 = <40 Lakhs. 10. 4 Operational centers in city P in 2010 = 3248
Expenditure of company in 2013 = <40 Lakhs. Operational centers in city Q in 2008 = 875
Hence, required difference = 3248 – 875 = 2373.
3. 2 Profit in 2014 = <25 Lakhs.

Ratio for the year 2009 = 0.55 55
Ratio for the year 2010 = 0.75
Ratio for the year 2011 = 0.70 14. 2 Required ratio = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2.
Ratio for the year 2012 = 0.76
Hence, we can conclude that the ratio is highest for 15. 4 Required number of people = (25 + 15) × 103 = 40 × 103
the year 2012. = 40,000.
