Correct Answer: Rs. 30,000 crore


Solution : Total amount spent on Government = Rs. 3,00,000 crore
We know that 100% = 3,00,000 crore
So 1% = $\frac{300000}{100}$ = Rs. 3,000 crore
Also 360º = 3,00,000 crore
Amount spent on state development = 15%
Amount spent on sports = 18°
Amount spent on state development = $15 \times 3000$ = Rs. 45,000 crore
Amount spent on sports = 18° = $\frac{300000 \times 18}{360}$ = Rs. 15,000 crore
Required difference = Rs. 45,000 crore – Rs. 15,000 crore = Rs. 30,000 crore
∴ The amount spent on state development exceeds that on sports by Rs. 30,000 crore.
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 30,000 crore.
