Question : Direction: The following pie chart shows the monthly expenses for food, house rent, clothing, education, fuel, and miscellaneous. Study the pie chart and answer the question.
If the expenditure on fuel is Rs. 3,000, the total expenditure excluding expenditure on house rent and education is:
Option 1: Rs. 11,600
Option 2: Rs. 12,000
Option 3: Rs. 12,400
Option 4: Rs.12,500
Correct Answer: Rs. 12,400
Solution :
Percentage expenditure on house rent + education = 20 + 18 = 38%
Remaining expenses = 100 – 38 = 62%
Since 15% of the total expenses = Rs. 3,000
62% of the total expenses = $\frac{3000\times 62}{15}$ = Rs. 12,400
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 12,400.
