Correct Answer: $5 \%$ of the total cost


Solution : Let the total cost be $360$ Units.
Then, the amount spent on labour = $90$ units
And the amount spent on cement = $72$ units
The amount spent on labour exceeds the amount spent on cement by $=\frac{90-72}{360}\times 100=5\%$
Hence, the correct answer is '$5 \%$ of the total cost'.
