    Question

    Study the given pie-chart and answer the question that follows. The pie-chart shows the monthly expenditure incurred by a family on various items and their savings.

    If the total expenditure on education is Rs. 23,520, then what is the expenditure on clothing (in Rs. )?

    A.

    10000

    B.

    10080

    C.

    12300

    D.

    11000

    Correct option is B

    Given that:
    · The percentage expenditure on education is 28%.
    · The percentage expenditure on clothing is 12%.
    · The total expenditure on education is Rs. 23,520.
    We need to determine the expenditure on clothing.
     Percentage of expenditure on education: E=28%
    · Percentage of expenditure on clothing: C=12%
    · Total expenditure on education:  TEE=TE_E=Rs.23,520 

    100%  = 23520 

    Solution:
    Formula Used To find the total expenditure (TE) of the family, we can use the formula:
    TE=Expenditure on EducationPercentage of EducationTE= \frac{Expenditure \ on\ Education}{ Percentage \ of \ Education}​​
    ​​ The expenditure on clothing (TECTE_C​) Using the percentage for clothing:
    TEC=TE×C100=84,000×12100TE_C=TE×\frac{C}{100}=84,000×\frac{12}{100}​​
    Calculating TECTE_C​:
    TECTE_C​=84,000×0.12=10,080
    Conclusion The expenditure on clothing is:  = 10,080  Rs. 
    Answer: (b) 10080
