The pie chart represents an expenditure of a production company in a month.
If the difference between the expenditure on Marketing and Transport is Rs 2400, then find the expenditure on Transport, Electric bill and other together.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
From the pie chart:
- Marketing = 32%
- Transport = 24%
- Electric bill = 8%
- Others = 20%
Step 1: Find the total expenditure
Difference between Marketing and Transport:
$32\% - 24\% = 8\%$
Given this difference is ₹2400.
So,
$8\% = 2400$
$100\% = \frac{2400 \times 100}{8} = \text{₹30,000}$
Step 2: Find expenditure on Transport + Electric bill + Others
$24\% + 8\% + 20\% = 52\%$
$52\% \text{ of } 30,000 = \frac{52}{100} \times 30,000 = \text{₹15,600}$
