DSSSB TGT CS 2023 Shift 2 – Question 059

Study the given pie chart and answer the following question.

Amount spent on cricket = ₹ 18,000
If the total amount spent on Basketball and Hockey is ₹ \(x\) more than the total amount spent on Football and Golf, then the value of \(x\) lies between:

• 3,600 and 3,800
• 3,800 and 4,200
• 4,200 and 4,400
• 4,400 and 4,600

Step 1: Understand the percentage distribution from the pie chart:
– Cricket = 22.50%
– Golf = 12%
– Others = 12.50%
– Basketball = 15%
– Football = 18%
– Hockey = 20%
Total = 100%

Step 2: Determine the total expenditure:
Amount spent on Cricket = ₹ 18,000, which corresponds to 22.50% of the total expenditure:
\[ 22.50\% \text{ of Total} = 18,000 \]
\[ \text{Total Expenditure} = \frac{18,000}{0.225} = ₹ 80,000 \]

Step 3: Calculate the difference \(x\):
Percentage spent on Basketball and Hockey = \(15\% + 20\% = 35\%\)
Percentage spent on Football and Golf = \(18\% + 12\% = 30\%\)
Difference in percentage = \(35\% – 30\% = 5\%\)
\[ x = 5\% \text{ of } 80,000 = 0.05 \times 80,000 = ₹ 4,000 \]

Step 4: Check which range includes \(x = 4,000\):
The value ₹ 4,000 lies between 3,800 and 4,200.
Hence, the correct answer is option b).
