A.

₹4,573

B.

₹4,375

C.

₹3,745

D.

₹3,547

Correct option is C

Given:
Monthly expenses = ₹58,000
Budgeted percentages:
Grocery = 20%
Electricity = 19%
Actual amount spent on Grocery and Electricity = ₹18,875
Formula Used:
Budgeted Amount = Total Expense×(Percentage100) \text{Total Expense} \times \left(\frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}\right)​​
Solution:
Budgeted Amount for Grocery = 20% of ₹58,000
20100×58000=11,600\frac{20}{100} \times 58000 = ₹11,600

Budgeted Amount for Electricity = 19% of ₹58,000

19100×58000=11,020\frac{19}{100} \times 58000 = ₹11,020​​

Total Budgeted for Grocery + Electricity

= ₹11,600 + ₹11,020 = ₹22,620

Actual Amount Spent = ₹18,875
Difference:
₹22,620 - ₹18,875 = ₹3,745
The difference is ₹3,745.

Thus, the correct option is (c) 3745
