Profit = income − expenditure. One lakh rupees = Rs 100,000.

In 2026, expenditure rises by 25% over 2025. If the company targets a profit equal to 25% of its income, what income must it earn in 2026?

Pick an option, then check.

Answer & solution

Answer: Option B

Expenditure in 2025 was 144 lakh, so the 2026 expenditure = 144 × 1.25 = 180 lakh.

If profit is to be 25% of income, then expenditure is the remaining 75% of income.

So 0.75 × income = 180.

Income = 180 ÷ 0.75 = Rs 240 lakh.
