Question : Study the given pie chart and answer the question that follows.
The pie chart shows the National Budget Expenditure in the year 2019.
If INR 850 billion were spent in the year 2019 for interest on debt and military, then what would have been the total expenditure for that year (INR billion)?
Option 1: 1,700
Option 2: 1,300
Option 3: 1,250
Option 4: 1,450
Correct Answer: 1,250
Solution :
INR 850 billion was spent in the year 2019
Suppose the total expenditure is $x$
Interest on debt = 6%
Military = 62%
So, 6% of $x$ + 62% of $x$ = INR 850 billion
⇒ 68% of x = 850
⇒ $x = \frac{850}{68}\times 100$
⇒ $x = 1,250$
Hence, the correct answer is 1,250.
