Question

Using the same pie chart, what is the combined expense for Rent and Transport?

• A. Rs. 8000
• B. Rs. 9000
• C. Rs. 10000
• D. Rs. 11000

Hint:

Sum the percentages of relevant categories and multiply by the total for combined values.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Step 1: Rent = $30%$ of 20,000 = $0.3 \times 20,000 = 6000$.
- Step 2: Transport = $20%$ of 20,000 = $0.2 \times 20,000 = 4000$.
- Step 3: Combined = $6000 + 4000 = 10000$.
- Step 4: Verify: $30% + 20% = 50%$, $0.5 \times 20,000 = 10000$.
- Step 5: Option (3) is 10000, correct.
- Step 6: Confirm percentages and summation.
