How much amount will be increased on A if the total budget is increased by three times?
Consider the following data:<br>The budget allocations represented in a pie diagram under five different heads A, B, C, D and E are respectively 40\%, 18\%, 9\%, 25\% and 8\%. The total budget allocation is 300.4 lakhs.
- A. 360.48 lakhs
- B. 300.36 lakhs
- C. 240.32 lakhs ✓
- D. 180.40 lakhs
Correct Answer: C. 240.32 lakhs
Explanation
Original allocation for A is 40\% of 300.4 lakhs. If the total budget becomes 3 times, the new allocation for A is 3 \times (0.40 \times 300.4). The increase is 2 \times 0.40 \times 300.4 = 240.32 lakhs.
