Explanation

Indira's average income is 10.14/6 = 1.69 lacs. Jasmeet's average is 13.40/6, approximately 2.233 lacs. The ratio 1.69/2.233 x 100 is approximately 75.8%.

AI explanation

Calculate Indira's total income by adding her earnings from 2001 to 2006: 1.45 + 1.56 + 1.64 + 1.70 + 1.84 + 1.95 = 10.14 lacs. Next, find Jasmeet's total income: 2.00 + 2.12 + 2.25 + 2.30 + 2.33 + 2.40 = 13.4 lacs. Using the percentage formula, compute (10.14 divided by 6) divided by (13.4 divided by 6) multiplied by 100, which simplifies to (10.14 divided by 13.4) multiplied by 100. This calculation yields approximately 75.67, making the closest approximate answer 75.8 percent.
