The given graph represents the percentage distribution of the total expenditure of a company. Study the graph and answer the question that follows.
The total expenditure of the company is how many times the total expenditure on 'Research and Development and 'Salary'?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Total expenditure = 25 + 17.5 + 20 + 10 + 5 + 15 + 22.5 = 115
Total expenditure on 'Research and Development and 'Salary'
= 5 + 15 = 20
ATQ ,
20 × X = 115
X = \(\frac{115 }{20}\)
= 5.75
So total expenditure of the company is 5.75 times the total expenditure on 'Research and Development and 'Salary' .
Ans :- 5.75
