Question 5: It is found at the end of 1990, that the entire amount estimated for the

which was estimated, by what percent (approximately) has the actual expenditure
exceeded the estimated expenditure?
(a) 39
(b) 29
(c) 19
(d) 9
Answer
Answer 1: c
Total expenditure = 52.1+267.5+196.4+209.5 = 725.5 lakhs.
If it has to be kept within 700 lakhs, the expenditures has to reduce by 25.5 laks.
So the expenditure reduced each year will be (25.5/4) = 6.375 lakhs.
Hence, percentage reduce for 1989 would be = (6.375/15) × 100 = 42.5%.
Answer 2: b
Costs of material and labor
1988 = 2.1
1989 = 95+70+15+25+25 = 230
1990 = 80+45+12+18+20 = 175
1991 = 75+60+16+21+18 = 190
Therefore proportion of these expenditures till 1990 = (2.1 + 230 + 175) / (2.1 + 230 +
175 + 190) = 0.6817.
This will also be the fraction of the total length of the line
Answer 3: b
Total material cost = (95+80+75+70+45+60+15+12+16+25+18+21) = 532
Total labour cost = (2.1+25+20+18) = 65.1
Therefore the ratio = 532 : 65.1 = 8 : 1 (approximately)
Answer 4: b
The costs that can be taken under the head “Materials” are : Cement, steel, Bricks and
Other building materials.
The estimated cost in 1990 = 80 + 45 + 12 + 18 = 155
The estimated cost in 1991 = 75 + 60 + 16 + 21 = 172
Cost of material rises by 5%,
Cost would rise by 0.05X (155 + 172) = Rs.16.35 lakhs.
Answer 5: b
Amount spent till 1990 = Rs.725.5 lakhs
Estimated Expenditure for 1991 = 209.5 lakhs.
Hence the increase in expenditure will be 209.5 on 725.5 = 28.87%.
