1.  The total amount of expenditures of the company is how many times of expenditure on research and development?
A. 27
B. 20
C. 18
D. 8
E. 5

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the total expenditures be Rs. x.

Then, the expenditure on Research and Development (R & D)

    = Rs. (5% of x)

    = Rs.(5x x)
100

    = Rs.(x).
20

Therefore Ratio of the total expenditure to the expenditure on R & D

    =(x)
x/20

    =(20).
1

Then, the total expenditure is 20 times the expenditure of Research and Development.
