SHORT CUT:
NOTE:
Always Expenditure is 100% and .
Income =Expenditure + profit.
Solution:
Given that Expenditure(x)1998 = 200cr.
Income(x)1998 = Expenditure(x)2001.
Find Income(x)2001=?
155 = x(let income)[155 means expenditure+profit i.e 100+55).
100 =b200(given).
Then (200*155)/100 = x.
x = 310 = Expenditure(x)2001 (given).
Again,
150 = y (let).
100 = 310.
y = (150*310)/100.
y = 465(answer).

Please explain this,
50 = z - 310 / 310 * 100.
50 = z - 310 / 310 * 100.

Company (x) 1998.
155%of200 = 310.
Income (x) 1998 = Expenditure (x) 2001.
Company (x) 2001.
150%of310 = 465.
155%of200 = 310.
Income (x) 1998 = Expenditure (x) 2001.
Company (x) 2001.
150%of310 = 465.
