Explanation :
If the difference of angles is same, the difference of expenditures will also be same. Hence, we will simply check for difference in angles.
Difference in amount spent on Food and Medicines = 90° – 80° = 10°.
Using options, only option (d) i.e., Travel – Rent = 65° - 55° = 10°.
Hence, option (d).
Workspace:

Answer the next 4 questions based on the information given below:
The following table shows the number of employees of XYZ pvt. ltd. globally from 2010 - 2020. The pie-chart shows the number of projects assigned to each of these employees for the years 2010 and 2020.
Which of the following statements about the employees is true?
- (a)
The number of employees with 3 projects decreased slightly from 2010 to 2020.
- (b)
There were more employees with projects in 2010 than in 2020.
- (c)
There were more employees with 2 or more projects in 2010 than in 2020.
- (d)
None of these
Answer: Option D
Join our Telegram Group for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
Option (a):
The number of employees with 3 projects in 2010 = 19% of 60 = 11,400
The number of employees with 3 projects in 2020 = 15% of 80 = 12,000
Thus, the number of employees with 3 projects increased from 2010 to 2020.
Thus, option (c) is not true.
Option (b):
The number of employees with projects in 2010 = 89% of 60,000 = 53,400
The number of employees with projects in 2020 = 91% of 80 = 72,800
Thus, there were more employees with projects in 2020 than in 2010.
Thus, option (a) is not true.
Option (c):
The number of employees with 2 or more projects in 2010 = 61% of 60,000 = 36,600
The number of employees with 2 or more projects in 2020 = 66% of 80 = 52,800
Thus, there were more employees with 2 or more projects in 2020 than in 2010.
Thus, option (b) is not true.
Thus, none of the statements are true.
Hence, option (d).
Workspace:
The average number of projects per employee in 2020 was:
- (a)
> 2
- (b)
< 1.5
- (c)
1.57
- (d)
Cannot be determined
Answer: Option D

Explanation :
We know the exact number of employees with no project, exactly one project and exactly two projects. But we don’t know the number of employees with exactly 3 or any higher number of projects. Hence, we will not be able to calculate the total number of projects in 2020.
Hence, the average number of projects per employee cannot be found.
Hence, option (d).
Workspace:
The simple annual growth rate of the number of employees from 2010 to 2020 was:

- (d)
3.00%
Answer: Option B

Explanation :
The number of employees in 2010 and 2020 is 60 and 80 million respectively.
Growth from 2010 till 2020 = × 100% = 33.33%
The simple average annual growth rate = = 3.33%
Hence, option (b).
Workspace:
Assuming that the average number of projects per employee in 2020 was 3, how many employees were without projects in 2020?
Answer: 7200

Explanation :
The information about average number of projects in this question is redundant.
Number of employees without any project in 2020 is 9% of 80,000 = 7,200.
Hence, 7200.
