Direction: The pie graph indicates the break-up of the cost of construction of a house. Assuming that the total cost of construction is $ 6,00,000, answer the following questions.
-
The amount spent on labour exceeds the amount spent on steel by :
-
- 10% of the total cost
- 11% of the total cost
- 13% of the total cost
- 9% of the total cost
Correct Option: A
On the basis of given pie chart in question ,
Corresponding central angles :
Labour ⇒ 90°
Steel ⇒ 54°
∴ Required excess amount = Corresponding central angle of Labour - Corresponding central angle of Steel
∴ Required excess amount = 90° – 54° = 36° i.e. 10% of total cost.
