Question:

The pie chart represents an expenditure of a production company in a month.

If the difference between the expenditure on Electric bill and Salary is Rs 1600, then find the expenditure on Transport, Marketing together.

Options:

12300

11200

14600

15800

Correct Answer:

11200

Explanation:

From the pie chart:

  • Electric bill = 8%
  • Salary = 16%
  • Transport = 24%
  • Marketing = 32%

Step 1: Find the total expenditure

Difference between Salary and Electric bill:

$16\% - 8\% = 8\%$

Given this difference equals ₹1600.

So, $8\% = 1600$

$100\% = \frac{1600 \times 100}{8} = \text{₹20,000}$

Step 2: Find expenditure on Transport and Marketing together

$24\% + 32\% = 56\%$

$56\% \text{ of } 20,000 = \frac{56}{100} \times 20,000 = \text{₹11,200}$
