(c) 1984-85

(d) 1985-86

(c) We look at the ‘Net profit’ and ‘Profits before Interest and Depreciation’. We need to find the year in which ‘profits before……..’ is the smallest multiple of ‘Net Profits’. Use approximations, 38 ÷ 1, 40 ÷ 2, 52 ÷ 5, 60 ÷ 6.5, 80÷20, 92 ÷ 22 and make quick mental calculation. Obviously any one of the last two is the answer. We have 80 ÷20=4,92 ÷22>4,and hence 80 ÷20 is the minimum. 

Hence, 1984 – 85 is the answer.

9. Which of the following registered the lowest increase in terms of rupees from the year 1980-81 to year 1985-86?

(a) 1981-82 to 1982-83

(c) 1983-84 to 1984-85

(d) 1984-85 to 1985-86

69. (d) Mental calculation with approximation is sufficient. Among 2700 – 2500, 900 – 800, 600 – 500, 99 – 92 and 220 – 212, the fourth is a single digit figure and it is the least.
