Answers and Explanations

Answer 1: a

The sector which has the maximum percentage share in the pie chart has maximum amount spent.

According to the graph, the maximum amount was spent on food which was 23% of the total expenditure.

Hence, the correct answer is option a.

Answer 2: c

The total saving of the family is 15% of total expenditure which same as the expenditure on housing.

Hence, the correct answer is option c.

Answer 3: a

We can check from the pie chart that the sum of the percentages of the sectors of transport and other items together is 25% of the total expenditure.

Hence, 25% of the total income was spent on transport and other items together.

Hence, the correct answer is option a.

Answer 4: b The education expense constitutes 12% of the total expenditure.

Hence, expenditure on education = (12/100) × 100000 = Rs. 12000

Hence, the correct answer is option b.

Answer 5: d The difference in the percentage values of the housing and transport costs is 15% – 5% = 10%

Hence, the required difference = (10/100) × 100000 = Rs. 10000

Hence, the correct answer is option d.
