Introduction to Data Interpretation

Direction: The bar graph shows the percentage distribution of the total expenditures of a company under various expense heads during 2005. Study the bar graph and answer the following four questions.

  1. The ratio of the total expenditure on infrastructure and transport to the total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans is
    1. 5 : 4
    2. 13 : 11
    3. 9 : 7
    4. 8 : 7
Correct Option: B

According to given bar graph , we have
The total expenditure on infrastructure and transport = 20 + 12.5 = 32.5%
The total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans = 10 + 17.5 = 27.5%
Required ratio = The total expenditure on infrastructure and transport : The total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans
∴ Required ratio = 32.5 : 27.5 = 13 : 11
