Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's calculate the answers to these questions based on the given information:

1.1 If the total amount spent during the year 1998 was Rs. 46,000, the amount spent on food was:

Food = 23% of Rs. 46,000 = (23/100) * 46,000 = Rs. 10,580

So, the amount spent on food was Rs. 10,580. None of the provided answer choices matches this value, so there might be a calculation error in the question.

1.2 If the total amount spent was Rs. 46,000, the amount spent on clothing and housing together was:

Clothing = 10% of Rs. 46,000 = (10/100) * 46,000 = Rs. 4,600

Housing = 15% of Rs. 46,000 = (15/100) * 46,000 = Rs. 6,900

Clothing + Housing = Rs. 4,600 + Rs. 6,900 = Rs. 11,500

So, the amount spent on clothing and housing together was Rs. 11,500. This matches answer choice (a) - Rs. 11,500.

1.3 The ratio of the total amount of money spent on housing to that spent on education is:

Housing = 15% of Rs. 46,000 = (15/100) * 46,000 = Rs. 6,900

Education = 12% of Rs. 46,000 = (12/100) * 46,000 = Rs. 5,520

The ratio is:

Housing : Education = Rs. 6,900 : Rs. 5,520

To simplify the ratio, we can divide both amounts by their greatest common divisor, which is 360:

Housing : Education = (6,900 / 360) : (5,520 / 360) = 19 : 14

So, the ratio of the total amount of money spent on housing to that spent on education is 19:14.

1.4 The given pie chart shows that the maximum amount was spent on:

From the information given, we can see that the largest percentage is for "Food," which is 23%. Therefore, the maximum amount was spent on "Food" (answer choice a).
