    Question

    The following pie chart shows the percentage distribution of the expenditure incurred in publishing a book. Study the pie chart and answer the question that follows.

    If the expenditure on royalty in publishing certain number of books be ₹43,500, then what is the combined expenditure (in ₹) on transportation, binding and printing?

    A.

    1,97,900

    B.

    1,79,400

    C.

    1,79,900

    D.

    1,47,900

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Royalty expenditure = ₹43,500

    Royalty percentage = 15%

    We need to find the combined expenditure on Transportation (10%), Binding (16%), and Printing (25%).

    Concept Used:

    Total Expenditure=Royalty Expenditure×100Royalty Percentage\text{Total Expenditure} = \frac{\text{Royalty Expenditure} \times 100}{\text{Royalty Percentage}}

    Category Expenditure=(Category Percentage100)×Total Expenditure\text{Category Expenditure} = \left( \frac{\text{Category Percentage}}{100} \right) \times \text{Total Expenditure}

    Solution:

    Total Expenditure=43,500×10015=4,350,00015\text{Total Expenditure} = \frac{43,500 \times 100}{15} = \frac{4,350,000}{15}​ = 290,000 or ₹2,90,000

    Transportation (10%): 10100\frac{10}{100}×\times​ 290,000 = 29,000

    Binding (16%): 16100×\frac{16}{100} \times​ 290,000 = 46,400

    Printing (25%): 25100×\frac{25}{100} \times​ 290,000 = 72,500

    Total Expenditure for Transportation, Binding, and Printing;

    29,000 + 46,400 + 72,500 = 147,900
