This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2019 Paper 1 Question Paper (5-Dec-2019) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

₹ 22.95 lakhs

To find the income of Company B in the year 2013, we need to use the given formula for profit percentage:

\[\text{Profit \%} = \frac{\text{Income} - \text{Expenditure}}{\text{Expenditure}} \times 100\]

From the data provided, we know:

  • The profit percentage for Company B in 2013 is 35%
  • The expenditure of Company B in 2013 is ₹17 lakhs

We can substitute these values into the formula to find the income:

\[\begin{align*} 35 &= \frac{\text{Income} - 17}{17} \times 100 \\ 0.35 &= \frac{\text{Income} - 17}{17} \\ 0.35 \times 17 &= \text{Income} - 17 \\ 5.95 &= \text{Income} - 17 \\ \text{Income} &= 5.95 + 17 \\ \text{Income} &= 22.95 \end{align*}\]

Thus, the income of Company B in 2013 was ₹22.95 lakhs.

The correct option is: ₹22.95 lakhs.
