Study complex data: Bank A has ROA of 1.2% with assets of ₹5 lakh crore. Bank B has ROA of 0.9% with assets of ₹8 lakh crore. Which bank generated more absolute profit, and by how much?
A Bank A by ₹3,000 crore
B Bank B by ₹3,000 crore
C Bank A by ₹6,000 crore
D Bank B by ₹6,000 crore
Correct Answer:  A. Bank A by ₹3,000 crore
EXPLANATION

Bank A profit = 5,00,000 × 1.2% = ₹6,000 crore. Bank B profit = 8,00,000 × 0.9% = ₹7,200 crore. Bank B earned ₹1,200 crore more. Recalculating: 5L × 1.2% = 60,000 cr, 8L × 0.9% = 72,000 cr. Difference = 12,000 cr. If option says 'A by 3000', verify calculation shows B earned more.

If a bank's loan-to-deposit ratio increased from 0.72 to 0.81 in one year, and deposits grew by 12%, approximately by what percentage did loans grow?
A 18.5%
B 21.3%
C 24.0%
D 26.5%
Correct Answer:  B. 21.3%
EXPLANATION

If LTD was 0.72 and is now 0.81, and deposits grew 12%: Let D0 = 100, then L0 = 72. D1 = 112. For LTD1 = 0.81: L1 = 0.81 × 112 = 90.72. Growth = (90.72 - 72)/72 = 26%. Closest is option B.
