Question

How much percent more is spent on Hockey than that on Golf?

• A. 27%
• B. 35%
• C. 37.5%
• D. 75%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 75%

Let the total spendings on sports be Rs. x. Then,
Amount spent on Golf = Rs. $(\frac{36}{360}\times x)=Rs.\frac{x}{10}$
Amount spent on Hockey = Rs. $(\frac{63}{360}\times x)=Rs.\frac{7x}{40}$
Difference = Rs. $(\frac{7x}{40}-\frac{x}{10})=Rs.\frac{3x}{40}$
$\therefore$ Required percentage $=Rs[\left(\frac{3x/40}{x/10}\right)\times 100]\%=75\%$
