Answers
Answer:
Answer 1: b

This is 85% of the above pie chart.
The value in the pie-chart= Rs 46000/.85 = Rs. 54118
The amount spent on food was =23% of 54118= (23/100)x46000 = Rs. 12447
Answer 2: c
The total amount spent = Rs 46000
This is 85% of the above pie chart.
The value in the pie-chart= Rs 46000/.85 = Rs. 54118
Total share of clothing and housing = 10% + 15% = 25%
The total amount spent on clothing and housing = 25% of 54118 = (25/100) x 46000= Rs. 13529
Hence, the correct option is (c).
Answer 3: d
The data is given as a pie chart. So to calculate the ratio of the amount spent, we do not need the actual amount spent as it will be cancelled out in the final calculations.
The amount spent on housing is 15% and on education is 12% of the total.
Hence, the required ratio is 15: 12 = 5: 4. The correct option is (d).
Answer 4: a The sector which has the maximum percentage share in the pie chart showcases maximum amount spent. According to the graph, the maximum amount was spent on food which was 23% of the total gives (that is expenditure and saving). Since the individual expenditure is being calculated of the value given in the pie-chart, the individual expenses will be in the same ratio as that given in the pie-chart. The correct option is (a).
Answer 5: d
The total amount spent = Rs 46000
This is 85% of the above pie chart.
The value in the pie-chart= Rs 46000/.85 = Rs. 54118
Savings of the family = 15 % of 54118 = (15/100) x 46000 = Rs. 8117
The correct option is (d).
