The following pie chart gives the distribution of funds in a five year plan under the major heads of development expenditures: Agriculture (A), Industry (B), Education (C), Employment (D) and Miscellaneous (E). The total allocation is 36,000 (in crores of rupees).
How much excess money (in crores) is allocated to Miscellaneous over Education?

Options

A $3600$
B $4200$
C $4500$
D $4800$

Correct answer

C. $4500$

Step-by-step solution

\begin{aligned} \text{ Agriculture }(A) & =\frac{90}{360} \times 36000 \\ & =9000 \text{ crores } \\ \text{ Industry }(B) & =\frac{45}{360} \times 36000 \\ & =4500 \text{ crores } \\ \text{ Education }(C) & =\frac{30}{360} \times 36000 \\ & =3000 \text{ crores }\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} \text{ Employment (D) } & =\frac{120}{360} \times 36000 \\ & =12000 \text{ crores } \\ \text{ Miscellaneous (E) } & =\frac{75}{360} \times 36000 \\ & =7500 \text{ crores }\end{aligned}

7500-3000=4500$ crores excess money is allocated to miscellaneous over Education.
