Question : Directions: The bar graph shows the percentage distribution of the total expenditures of a company under various expenses heads during 2005. Study the bar graph and answer the following four question
If the interest on the loan amounted to INR 2.45 crore, then the total amount of expenditure on an advertisement, taxes and research and development is equal to:
Option 1: INR 3 crore
Option 2: INR 5.4 crore
Option 3: INR 4.2 crore
Option 4: INR 7 crore
Correct Answer: INR 4.2 crore
Solution :
Amount of interest on the loan = INR 2.45 crore
The expenditure on the interest on the loan = 17.5% of total expenditure
17.5% of total expenditure = INR 2.45 crore
Total expenditure = $\frac{2.45}{17.5}$ = INR 14 crore
Total amount of expenditure on an advertisement, taxes and research and development
= (15 + 10 + 5)% of total expenditure
= 30% × 14 crore
= INR 4.2 crore
Hence, the correct answer is INR 4.2 crore.
