Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 15,750.
From the pie chart,
Housing constitutes 25% of the monthly expenditure.
Transportation constitutes 10% of the monthly expenditure.
Total percentage = 25 % + 10% = 35%
Ramesh's monthly income = 35% of ₹45,000
Expenditure on housing and transportation = 35/100 × 45,000 = 15,750
