Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution:
Find saving in 2014.
Total expense in 2014 = INR 1,85,000. From the bar graph, saving in 2014 = 50% of total expense = INR 92,500.
Use the given relation between savings.
Saving in 2012 = 4/5 of saving in 2014 = 4/5 × 92,500 = INR 74,000.
Find total expense in 2012.
From the bar graph, saving in 2012 is 35% of the total expense. So 35% of total expense (x) = 74,000. Therefore x = 74,000 ÷ 0.35 = INR 2,11,428.57.
Compute food expenditure in 2012.
From the bar graph, food in 2012 = 21% of total expense. So food = 0.21 × 2,11,428.57 = INR 44,400.
Answer: INR 44,400
