Options:

₹22,00,000

₹16,00,000

₹18,00,000

₹7,00,000

Correct Answer:

₹16,00,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹16,00,000

Long term borrowings on 2024 = 19,00,000
Change in Long term borrowings = 3,00,000
Percentage Change in Long term borrowings = 18.75%

Percentage Change in Long term borrowings = (Change in Long term borrowings / Long term borrowings on 2023) x 100
                                                        18.75 = (3,00,000 / Long term borrowings on 2023) x 100
Long term borrowings on 2023 = (3,00,000/18.75) x 100
                                              = 16,00,000

Thus, long term borrowings on 2023 is 16,00,000.
