• A. 80%
• B. 75%
• C. 50%
• D. 10%

Answer 1

The correct option is B

75%

Let the total amoiunt spent on sports be ₹ $x$

Then, Amount spent on Golf $=\frac{36}{360}\times x$$=\frac{x}{10}$

Amount spent on Hockey $=\frac{63}{360}\times x$$=\frac{7x}{40}$

Difference $=\frac{7x}{40}-\frac{x}{10}=\frac{3x}{40}$

$\therefore$ Required percentage $=\frac{\frac{3x}{40}}{\frac{x}{10}}\times 100=$75%
