C) Rs. 335 crores

D) Rs. 295 crores

E) Rs. 255 crores

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Let the income of Company X in 1998 be Rs. x crores.

Then, 55 = ( ( x-200 ) / 310 ) X 100 => x= 310

Expenditure of Company X in 2001

                 =Income of Company X in 1998 = Rs< 310 crores

Let the income of Company X in 2001 be Rs. z crores.

Then, 50 = ( ( z-310) / 310 ) X 100 => z= 465

Income of Company X in 2001 * Rs. 465 crores.
