How much less money (in ₹) is spent on district C than on district E?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 62480
According to the question,
Money spent on District C = 14% of total money
⇒ District C = 14% of 1562000
⇒ District C = 14/100 × 1562000
⇒ District C = 14 × 15620 = Rs. 218680
Money spent on District C = 18% of total money
⇒ District E = 18% of 1562000
⇒ District E = 18/100 × 1562000
⇒ District E = 18 × 15620 = Rs. 281160
Now difference between money spent of district C and district E
⇒ (Money spent on District E) - (Money spent on District C)
⇒ (281160) - (218680) = Rs. 62480
