Question

Which industry sector has 'salaries and wages' as 3rd largest item in its expenses?

• A. Food
• B. Services
• C. Textiles \& Food
• D. Food \& Machinery

Hint:

Always sort all expense components from highest to lowest to determine their rank precisely.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let's analyze the ordering of expenses for both sectors:

Food Industry: \[ \text{1st: Raw Material}>\text{2nd: Other Expenses}>\text{3rd: Salaries and Wages} \]

Machinery Industry: \[ \text{1st: Raw Material}>\text{2nd: Other Expenses}>\text{3rd: Salaries and Wages} \] So, in both sectors, 'Salaries and Wages' is the **third largest** expense item. \[ {\text{(d) Food \& Machinery}} \]
