Show Answer
Correct Answer: (4)
Solution: (4) For company $X$,
$50=\frac{I-E_{1}}{E_{1}} \times 100$
$\Rightarrow 50 E_{1}=100 I-100 E_{1}$
$\Rightarrow 150 E_{1}=100 I$
For company Y,
$60=\frac{I-E_{2}}{E_{2}} \times 100$
$\Rightarrow 60 E_{2}=100 I-100 E_{2}$
$\Rightarrow 160 E_{2}=100 I$
$\therefore 150 E_{1}=160 E_{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=\frac{160}{150}=16: 15$
