    Question

    The given pie chart shows the budget estimated by a family for their monthly expenses. Monthly expenses = ₹58,000

    Find the difference between the amount budget amount for grocery and electricity to the amount spent on grocery and electricity, if the family actually spent ₹18,875 on both grocery and electricity.

    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
