    Direction: The pie-chart given shows the distribution of Maya's allowance for a certain month. \[\mathbf{AB}\] is the diameter. The ratio of amount of money that Maya spent on food to the amount of money she spent on transport is\[9:10\]. If she spent the same amount on transport each month, how much did she spend on transport in a year?

    A) \[Rs.\,\,1440\]                

    B)                    \[Rs.\,\,108\]                

    C)                    \[Rs.\,\,1296\]                

    D)                    \[Rs.\,\,120\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Since \[AB\] is the diameter, and \[12%\] is spent on stationery, \[(50-12)%\] \[=38%\] is spent on food and transport in the ratio\[9:10\]. \[\therefore \]Percentage amount spent on transport per month is\[\frac{10}{19}\times 38%\] \[=20%\] Hence, amount spent on transport per month             \[=\frac{20}{100}\times Rs.\,\,600=Rs.\,\,120\] Thus, amount spent on transport per year             \[=12\times Rs.\,\,120=Rs.\,\,1440\]
