Correct Answer: 4%
Solution : Percentage Donated = $\frac{\text{Amount Donated}}{\text{Total Income}}\times 100$ First, let's calculate the total expenses: Total Expenses = Household items + LIC and mutual funds + Children's education + Miscellaneous expenses Total Expenses = Rs. 12,000 + Rs. 14,000 + Rs. 15,000 + Rs. 10,000 = Rs. 51,000 Amount Donated = Total Income – Total Expenses – Savings Amount Donated = Rs. 75,000 – Rs. 51,000 – Rs. 21,000 = Rs. 3,000 Now, you can calculate the percentage donated: Percentage Donated = $(\frac{3,000}{75,000}) × 100$ = $(\frac{1}{25}) × 100$ = 4% Hence, the correct answer is 4%.
