• D. Rs.3564 million
• O. Rs.2465 million

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the problem.
We are asked to find the percentage of wage earners engaged in manufacturing in 1983 based on the given pie chart.

Step 2: Analyze the data from the pie chart.
From the pie chart, the portion corresponding to "Manufacturing" is marked. The number representing the manufacturing sector is 18.5% of the total wage earners.

Step 3: Conclusion.
The percentage of wage earners engaged in manufacturing in 1983 is 18.5%.

Final Answer:
The correct option is (B): 18.5%.

Answer 2

Step 1: Understand the problem.
We are given that 19,800 workers were engaged in Accounts. The question asks how many workers were engaged in Transportation based on the given pie chart.

Step 2: Analyze the data from the pie chart.
From the pie chart, we can observe that: - The percentage of workers engaged in Accounts is labeled. - The percentage of workers engaged in Transportation is also given.

Let's assume the total number of workers is \( T \). The number of workers in Accounts is 18% of the total, so we can write: \[ \frac{18}{100} \times T = 19,800 \] Solving for \( T \): \[ T = \frac{19,800 \times 100}{18} = 110,000 \text{ workers} \] The total number of workers is 110,000.

Now, from the pie chart, we find that the percentage of workers engaged in Transportation is 5%. Therefore, the number of workers engaged in Transportation is: \[ \frac{5}{100} \times 110,000 = 5,500 \text{ workers} \]

Step 3: Conclusion.
The number of workers engaged in Transportation is 5,500. However, the provided answer options do not match this result.

Final Answer:
The correct option is (E): None of these.

Answer 3

Step 1: Understand the problem.
We are given that the average income of professional workers is 50% greater than that of transportation workers. The total income of the workers engaged in transportation services is Rs. 2376 million. We need to find the total income of the professional workers.

Step 2: Define variables.
Let the average income of transportation workers be \( x \) million.
Therefore, the average income of professional workers is \( 1.5x \) million (since it is 50% greater than the income of transportation workers).

Step 3: Calculate the total income of transportation workers.
We are given that the total income of transportation workers is Rs. 2376 million. Let the number of transportation workers be \( T_{\text{transport}} \). The total income of transportation workers can be written as: \[ T_{\text{transport}} \times x = 2376 \, \text{million} \] Thus, the number of transportation workers is: \[ T_{\text{transport}} = \frac{2376}{x} \]

Step 4: Calculate the total income of professional workers.
The number of professional workers is the same as the number of transportation workers (since the pie chart suggests they represent different sectors of workers). Therefore, the total income of professional workers is: \[ T_{\text{transport}} \times 1.5x = 1.5 \times 2376 = 3564 \, \text{million} \]

Step 5: Conclusion.
The total income of the professional workers is Rs. 3564 million.

Final Answer:
The correct option is (C): Rs. 3564 million.
