The following table shows the various expenditures incurred by a company (in millions) over 5 years. Based on the table, answer the question given below.

What was the difference (in millions) between the total expenditure incurred on raw material purchases and that on salary for all 5 years combined?

Correct option is C

Solution:
Total expenditure on raw materials (2014 to 2018):
= 452 + 569 + 659 + 706 + 783 = 3169 million

Total expenditure on salary (2014 to 2018):
= 340 + 398 + 409 + 456 + 479 = 2082 million
Difference between expenditure on raw materials and salary:
= 3169 - 2082 = 1087 million
