Here are the solutions to the questions based on the given pie chart: a) Find the total monthly expenditure. Step 1: Determine the total angle in a circle. The total angle in a pie chart is $360^\circ$. Step 2: Use the given conversion factor to find the total expenditure. Given that $1^\circ$ represents Rs. $200$. Total monthly expenditure = Total angle $\times$ Value per degree Total monthly expenditure = $360^\circ \times \text{Rs. } 200/\text{degree}$ $$ \text{Total monthly expenditure} = 360 \times 200 $$ $$ \text{Total monthly expenditure} = 72000 $$ The total monthly expenditure is Rs. $72,000$. The final answer for part (a) is $\boxed{\text{Rs. } 72,000}$. b) Find expenditure amount on food and on the hotel and then compare between them. Step 1: Identify the angle for Food expenditure from the pie chart. Angle for Food = $18^\circ$. Step 2: Calculate the expenditure on Food. Expenditure on Food = Angle for Food $\times$ Value per degree Expenditure on Food = $18^\circ \times \text{Rs. } 200/\text{degree}$ $$ \text{Expenditure on Food} = 18 \times 200 $$ $$ \text{Expenditure on Food} = 3600 $$ The expenditure on Food is Rs. $3,600$. Step 3: Identify the angle for Hotel expenditure from the pie chart. Angle for Hotel = $144^\circ$. Step 4: Calculate the expenditure on Hotel. Expenditure on Hotel = Angle for Hotel $\times$ Value per degree Expenditure on Hotel = $144^\circ \times \text{Rs. } 200/\text{degree}$ $$ \text{Expenditure on Hotel} = 144 \times 200 $$ $$ \text{Expenditure on Hotel} = 28800 $$ The expenditure on Hotel is Rs. $28,800$. Step 5: Compare the expenditure on Food and Hotel. To compare, we can find the difference between the two expenditures. Difference = Expenditure on Hotel - Expenditure on Food $$ \text{Difference} = 28800 - 3600 $$ $$ \text{Difference} = 25200 $$ The expenditure on Hotel is Rs. $25,200$ more than the expenditure on Food. The final answer for part (b) is: Expenditure on Food: $\boxed{\text{Rs. } 3,600}$ Expenditure on Hotel: $\boxed{\text{Rs. } 28,800}$ Comparison: The expenditure on Hotel is Rs. $25,200$ more than on Food.
