Ratio of Exports to Imports (in terms of money in Rs. crores) of Two Companies Over the Years


2.
If the imports of Company A in 1997 were increased by 40 percent, what would be the ratio of exports to the increased imports?
1.20
1.25
1.30
cannot be determined
Answer: Option
Explanation:

In 1997 for Company A we have:

E = 1.75     i.e.,     E = 1.75I
I

where E amount of exports, I = amount of imports of Company A in 1997.

Now, the required imports I1 = I + 40% of I = 1.4I.

Therefore Required ratio = E = 1.75I = 1.25.
I1 1.4I
