The Percentage Increase In The Amount Spent On Labour From 1...
The percentage increase in the amount spent on labour from 1991 to 2001, given that the total amount spent on the construction of the house is Rs. 360000 in 1991 and Rs. 864000 in 2001 is:
  1.    $$3\frac{1}{9}$$ %
  2.    $$43\frac{1}{3}$$ %
  3.    $$41\frac{2}{3}$$ %
  4.    $$166\frac{2}{3}$$ %
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> $$166\frac{2}{3}$$ %
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Expenditure on labourers:}} \cr
& {\text{Year }}1991 = \frac{{360000 \times 90°}}{{360°}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs. }}90000 \cr
& {\text{Year }}2001 = \frac{{864000 \times 100°}}{{360°}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs. }}240000 \cr
& {\text{Percentage increase}} \cr
& = \frac{{240000 - 90000}}{{90000}} \times 100 \cr
& = 166\frac{2}{3}\% \cr} $$
Question 112. Directions (1 - 4): Study the pie chart and answer the given questions.What Percentage Of Total Expenditure Is On Electricity?
What percentage of total expenditure is on electricity?
  1.    23%

  3.    30%
  4.    20%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 20%
Corresponding angle for expenditure on electricity = 72°
∵ 360° ≡ 100%
∴ Total expenditure on electricity
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{72}{360}\times100 \cr
