• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is E E

Total expenditure on five commodities
A $\Rightarrow$ Rs. (12.4 + 4.8 + 7.5 + 5.4 + 4.5) $\times$ 1000 = 34.6 $\times$ 1000 = Rs. 34,600
B $\Rightarrow$ Rs (6 + 7.8+ 12.4 + 12.6 + 5.8) $\times$ 1000 = 44.6 $\times$ 1000
= Rs. 44,600
C $\Rightarrow$ Rs. (5.6 + 6.4 + 14.6 + 6.4 + 5.3) $\times$ 1000 = 38.3 $\times$ 1000= Rs. 38,300
D $\Rightarrow$ Rs (13.6 + 7.8 + 12.5 + 16.4 + 9.5) $\times$ 1000 = 59.8 $\times$ 1000 = Rs. 59,800
E $\Rightarrow$ Rs (14.4 + 8.4 + 13.2 + 7.5 + 7.4) $\times$ 1000 = 50.9 $\times$ 100 = Rs. 50,900
Expenditure is second highest for E.
