  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)?

Options:

27 : 23

21 : 29

23 : 27

29 : 23

Correct Answer:

23 : 27

Explanation:

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
