Question:

The following pie chart shows percentage expenditure of a country on different heads. The total expenditure is 21,680 (in billions). Study the chart and answer the question.

The amount of expenditure on Defence is what percentage more than the expenditure on Education?

Options:

50%

125%

150%

100%

Correct Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Expenditure on defence = \(\frac{3}{25}\)  × 21,680 = 2601.6

Expenditure on Education = \(\frac{3}{50}\)  × 21,680 = 1300.8

Required percentage =  \(\frac{2601.6 - 1300.8}{1300.8}\) × 100

= 100%
