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

₹ 62.4 lakhs

To find the total income of Company B in the years 2014 and 2017 together, we need to utilize the given percentage profit formula and the expenditure figures.

The formula for percentage profit is given as:

\(Profit \% = \frac{Income - Expenditure}{Expenditure} \times 100\)

We are informed that the sum of expenditures for both years 2014 and 2017 is ₹48 lakhs. We need to find the incomes for both these years using the profit percentages provided in the table.

  1. Looking at the year 2014:
    • Profit percentage for 2014 for Company B is 30%.
    • Let \( E_{2014} \) be the expenditure in 2014 and \( I_{2014} \) be the income.
  2. For the year 2017:
    • Profit percentage for 2017 for Company B is also 30%.
    • Let \( E_{2017} \) be the expenditure in 2017 and \( I_{2017} \) be the income.
  3. We know that:
    • \(E_{2014} + E_{2017} = 48\) lakhs
  4. Total income for both these years is:

Thus, the total income of Company B for the years 2014 and 2017 together is ₹62.4 lakhs.

Therefore, the correct answer is ₹62.4 lakhs.
