Question Statement:
A pie chart breaks down farm operational costs: Seeds ($90^\circ$), Fertilizers ($108^\circ$), Labor ($72^\circ$), and Irrigation ($90^\circ$). If the cost of Fertilizers is Rs 36,000 more than the cost of Labor, the total operational cost is:
Options:
(A) Rs 3,60,000
(B) Rs 4,00,000
(C) Rs 3,20,000
(D) Rs 4,50,000
Answer Key:
A
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
Angle difference $= 108^\circ - 72^\circ = 36^\circ$. Since $36^\circ$ is $10\%$ of $360^\circ$, $0.10 \times \text{Total} = 36000 \implies \text{Total} = 3,60,000$ rupees.
