The table given below shows the expenditure of two companies in different years.
| Companies | ||
| Years | L | M |
| P | 200 | 500 |
| Q | 150 | 350 |
| R | 300 | 250 |
| S | 100 | 150 |
| T | 400 | 100 |
J1 = The total expenditure of company L in all the 5 years.
J2 = The total expenditure of company M in all the 5 years.
What is the value of (J1 : J2)?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
J1 = The total expenditure of company L in all the 5 years
= 200 + 150 + 300 + 100 + 400
= 1150
& J2 = The total expenditure of company M in all the 5 years
= 500 + 350 + 250 + 150 + 100
= 1350
Ratio of (J1 : J2)
= 1150 : 1350
= 23 : 27
