What is the value of tangible assets as on 31 March 2024?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → ₹20,00,000
The absolute-change column is second year minus first year. So a missing second-year figure is found by adding the change to the first-year figure.
Tangible assets on March 31, 2023 = 15 lakhs
Absolute increase = 5 lakhs
Tangible assets on March 31, 2024 = 15 + 5 = 20 lakhs = ₹20,00,000
The percentage column agrees: 5 ÷ 15 × 100 = 33.33%, the figure printed in the table.
The book’s version has the years March 31, 2016 and 2017; the figures are the same.
