Question

Look at this picture showing the expenses of Anu’s family.

(i) On what single item do they spend the most?

(ii) And the least?

(iii) On which do they spend more, health or education?

Answer 1

(i) It can be observed from the pie chart that the area covered by the “others” category of expenses is the largest. However, the question seeks the name of a single item. The next biggest item of expenditure is food.

So, the biggest expenses of Anu’s family are on food.

(ii) It can be observed from the pie chart of expenses of Anu’s family that the smallest area is covered by savings.

So, the smallest amount goes towards savings.

(iii) It can be observed from the pie chart that the area covered by education is larger than the area covered by health.

Thus, Anu’s family spends more on education than on health.
