• A. ₹29,000
• B. ₹31,000
• C. ₹34,000
• D. ₹43,000

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹31,000

Given: Salary of jaya $=$ ₹50,000 and from pie chart we know 28% and 34% respectively are spent on health and food respectively.

Combined % expenditure on health and food $=$ 28% + 34% $=$ 62%

$\therefore$ Expenditure on health and food
together (in ₹) $=62\%of₹50,000=\frac{62}{100}\times 50,000=₹31,000$

Hence, Total expenditure on health and food together $=$ ₹31,000
