Question

• A. Rs. $1000$
• B. Rs. $2000$
• C. Rs. $3000$
• D. Rs. $4000$

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. $2000$

Clearly as seen in the Pie Chart,

Savings $=15\%$

House Rent $=10\%$

Transport $=5\%$

Education for Children $=15\%$

Food $=25\%$

Clothes $=10\%$

Other $=20\%$

Let Total Monthly Income of Family be $x$

Monthly Savings $=15\%$ of $x$ $=Rs.3000$

$\Rightarrow \frac{15}{100}\times x=3000$

$\Rightarrow x=Rs.20000$

Monthly Expenditure on Clothes $=10\%$ of Total Income

$=\frac{10}{100}\times 20000$

$=Rs.2000\therefore Answer$
