Rs. 800,000
Rs. 8,000,000
Rs. 12,000,000
Rs. 16,000,000

The circle-graph given here shows the spendings of a country on various sports during a particular year. Study the graph carefully and answer the questions given below it.
How much percent less is spent on Football than that on Cricket?
22 2⁄9%
27%
33 1⁄3%
37 1⁄7%
Correct answer is C
Let the total spendings on sports be Rs. x
Then, Amount spent on Cricket = Rs. ( 81/360 x x ) = Rs. 9x/40
Amount spent on Football = Rs ( 54/360 x x ) = Rs. 3x/20
Difference = Rs. ( 9x/40 - 3x/20 ) = Rs 3x/40
Therefore Required percentage = Rs. [ ((3x/40)/(9x/40)) x 100 ] % = 33 1⁄3 %

Rs. 375,000
Rs. 410,000
Correct answer is A

How much percent more is spent on Hockey than that on Golf?
27%
35%
37.5%
75%
Correct answer is D
Let the total spendings on sports be Rs. x. Then,
Amount spent on Golf = Rs. ( (36/360) x x ) = Rs. x/10
Amount spent on Hockey = Rs ( (63/360) x x ) = Rs. 7x/40
Difference = Rs. ( 7x/40 - x/10 ) = Rs 3x/40
Therefore Required percentage = Rs. [ (3x/40)/(x/10) x 100 ] % = 75%.

= 3705 + 2964
= 6669
The following pie-charts show the distribution of students of graduate and post-graduate levels in seven different institutes in a town.
Distribution of students at graduate and post-graduate levels in seven institutes:
13 : 19
21 : 13
13 : 8
19 : 13
Correct answer is D
Required ratio = (21% of 24700)/(13% of 27300) = (21 x 24700)/(13 x 27300) = 19/13
The following pie-charts show the distribution of students of graduate and post-graduate levels in seven different institutes in a town.
Distribution of students at graduate and post-graduate levels in seven institutes:
How many students of institutes of M and S are studying at graduate level?
7516
8463
9127
9404
Correct answer is B
Students of institute M at graduate level= 17% of 27300 = 4641.
Students of institute S at graduate level = 14% of 27300 = 3822.
Therefore Total number of students at graduate in institutes M and S = (4641 + 3822)
= 8463
