The table given below shows the expenditure on six articles by two families A and B. Which of the following statements is NOT correct? (I) The expenditure on article R by A is 28.56% more than the expenditure on Q by B. (II) The difference between average expenditure on article P and Q by A and the average expenditure on R and S by B is 20. |
Only II Both I and II Only I Neither I nor II |
Only I |
(I)The expenditure on article R by A = 80 The expenditure on Q by B = 70 Thus, the expenditure on article R by A is $\frac{10}{70}$ x 100 = 14.28% more than the expenditure on Q by B.
(II) Average expenditure on article P and Q by A = $\frac{Sum}{2}$ = $\frac{40+60}{2}$ = 50 Average expenditure on R and S by B is 20 = $\frac{Sum}{2}$ = $\frac{90+50}{2}$ = 70 Their difference = 20 Thus, statement II is correct |
