The savings and expenditure of a family in a month on different heads is shown in the given pie chart. The family saves Rs.8,000 per month.

Find the total monthly expenditure (in Rs.) of the family.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 40000.

Given that

Monthly savings = 8000

According to the graph

60° = Rs 8000

Hence the rest = 360 - 60 = 300°

Solving using the unitary method we get

60° = Rs 8000

Hence 1° = 800060\frac{8000}{60}

Hence 300° = 800060\frac{8000}{60} × 300 = 40000

Hence, the family's total monthly expenditure is Rs 40000.

x = 40000
