Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rs1,98,480

Explanation:

Amount spent by state D1 = 12% of 49,62,000 = 595440

Amount spent by state D4 = 14% of 49,62,000 = 694680

The amount spent by state together D1 and D4 = 595440 + 694680 = 1290120

Amount spent by state D2 = 11% of 49,62,000 = 545820

Amount spent by state D8 = 11% of 49,62,000 = 545820

The amount spent by state together D2 and D8 = 545820 + 545820 = 1091640

The required difference = 1290120 - 1091640 = 198480

Hence The amount spends on state together D1 and D4 exceeds that spent on together D2 and D8 by Rs1,98,480.
