Question

If Paul's income was Rs. 13,500, what would be his average expenditure on Investments, Rent and Travelling?

• A. Rs. 2540
• B. Rs. 2125
• C. Rs. 2490
• D. Rs. 2700

Hint:

Add Paul's three relevant percentages, divide by 3, then apply that average to his income.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Read Paul's percentages from the outer ring.
Investments is 23%, Rent is 22%, and Travel is 15% of Paul's income.

Step 2: Average the three percentages.
Add them: 23 plus 22 plus 15 equals 60.
Divide by 3 to get the average percentage: 60 divided by 3 equals 20%.

Step 3: Apply the average percentage to the income.
20% of Rs. 13,500 equals 0.20 times 13500, which is 2700.

Final Answer:
Paul's average expenditure on Investments, Rent and Travelling is Rs. 2700. \[ \boxed{Rs.\ 2700} \]
