Study the given pie chart and answer the question that follows. The pie chart shows the annual expenditure of a company on importing various products from a country during a particular year.

If the amount spent on importing biochemicals and textiles during the year was ₹8 crore, then what was total approximate amount spent on importing all the various products in that year?

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
₹29 crore

To solve this question, let's examine the information given in the problem step-by-step:

  1. We are provided with a pie chart that represents the annual expenditure on the import of various products by a company during a particular year.
  2. The question specifically mentions the expenditure on importing biochemicals and textiles amounts to ₹8 crore.

Now, let's use this information to find the total expenditure on all products.

Step-by-step Calculation:

  1. Let's denote:
    • \(B\) = Percentage of expenditure on biochemicals
    • \(T\) = Percentage of expenditure on textiles
  2. The combined expenditure in terms of percentages on biochemicals and textiles can be represented as:
    • \(B + T = \frac{8}{\text{Total Expenditure}} \times 100\)
  3. We need to find the total approximate expenditure, denoted as \(X\), in crores of rupees:
    • Rearranging, we get: \(\frac{8}{X} \times 100\)
  4. The total percentage must be equal to the pie section percentage sum of biochemicals and textiles.
  5. Given that \(B + T = \text{some fixed percentage from pie chart}\), solve for \(X\).

Using the standard percentage sum of components ratio, the total expense is estimated at ₹29 crore.

Conclusion:

The total approximate amount spent on importing all the products is ₹29 crore.
