Question 58

Study the following pie-chart and answer the given question.
The pie-chart shows Budget Expenditure of a company in the year 2018 (percentage distribution) on different heads A, B, C, D & E.

If ₹ 165 crore were spent in year 2018 on A, what would have been the total expenditure for that year (in ₹ crores)?

Solution

From the pie-chart,

Percentage expenditure on A = 55%

Let the total expenditure in 2018 = T

Expenditure on A = $$\frac{55}{100}\times T$$

According to the problem, expenditure on A = ₹ 165 crore

$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\frac{55}{100}\times T=165$$

$$\Rightarrow$$ T = ₹ 300 crore

$$\therefore\ $$Total expenditure in 2018 = ₹ 300 crore

Hence, the correct answer is Option D
