Correct Answer :

Option B

4000

Solution :

The correct option is 4000.


Step-by-step Explanation:


1. Analyze the pie chart:

The pie chart shows the breakdown of a family's monthly budget represented by central angles of a circle (total = 360°):

• Food = 120°
• Infrastructure = 105°
• Savings = 60°
• Education = 30°
• Other = 45°



2. Calculate the value per degree:

We are given that the family saves ₹8,000 per month, which corresponds to a central angle of 60° on the pie chart.

Therefore, we can set up the equation:

60 ° = 8,000


3. Calculate expenditure on Education:

From the pie chart, the angle corresponding to Education is 30°.

Since 30° is half of 60°:

Expenditure on Education = 8,000 2 = 4,000


Alternatively, using unitary method:

Expenditure on Education = 8,000 60 × 30 = 4,000


Hence, the expenditure on education is ₹4,000.
