The bar graph given below shows the percentage distribution of the total expenditures of a company under various expense heads during 2003.
Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company
The expenditure on the interest on loans is by what percent more than the expenditure on transport?
5%
10%
20%
40%
Correct answer is D
Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs. x.
Then, the expenditure on interest on loans = Rs. (17.5% of x) = Rs. ( 17.5/100 x )
and the expenditure on transport = Rs. (12.5% of x) = Rs. ( 12.5/100 x )
Therefore difference between the two expenditures = Rs. ( 17.5x/100 - 12.5x/100 )
= Rs. ( 5x/100 )
and so, the required percentage = ( (5x/100)/(12.5x/100) x 100 ) % = 40%.

Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company
Rs. 7 crores
Rs. 5.4 crores
Rs. 4.2 crores
Rs. 3 crores
Correct answer is C
Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.
Then, 17.5% of x = 2.45 => x = 14.
Therefore Total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores.
and so, the total expenditure on advertisement, taxes and Research and Development
= Rs. [(15 + 10 + 5)% of 14] crores
= Rs. [30% of 14] crores
= Rs. 4.2 crores.

Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company
5:4
8:7
9:7
13:11
Correct answer is D
Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs. x.
Then, the total expenditure on infrastruture and transport
= Rs. [(20 + 12.5)% of x]
= Rs. [32.5% of x]
= Rs. ( 32.5x/100 )
and total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans
= Rs. [(10 + 17.5)% of x]
= Rs. [27.5% of x]
= Rs. ( 27.5x/100 )
Therefore required ratio = ( (32.5x/100)/(27.5x/100) ) = 13/11

Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company
Rs. 1.25 crores
Rs. 95 lakhs
Rs. 65 lakhs
Rs. 35 lakhs
Correct answer is D
Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.
Then, 15% of x = 2.10 => x = ( (2.10 x 100)/15 ) = 14
Therefore total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores
and so, the difference between the expenditures on transport and taxes
= Rs. [(12.5 - 10)% of 14] crores
= Rs. [2.5% of 14] crores
= Rs. 0.35 crores
= Rs. 35 lakhs

Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company
27
20

8
Correct answer is B
Let the total expenditures be Rs. x.
Then, the expenditure on Research and Development (R & D)
= Rs. (5% of x)
= Rs. ( 5/100 x (x) )
= Rs. ( x/20 )
Therefore ratio of the total expenditure to the expenditure on R & D
= x/(x/20)
= 20/1
Then, the total expenditure is 20 times the expenditure of Research and Development.
