Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- Let the total spendings on sports be Rs. a. Then,
Amount spent on golf $ =Rs\text{. }( \frac{36}{360}\times a )=Rs\text{. }\frac{a}{10} $
Amount spent on hockey $ =Rs\text{. }( \frac{63}{360}\times a )=Rs\text{. }\frac{7}{40}a $
Now, difference $ =Rs\text{. }( \frac{7a}{40}-\frac{a}{10} )=Rs\text{. }\frac{3a}{40} $
Hence, required percentage
$ =,[ ( \frac{3a/40}{a/10} )\times ,100 ] $ % = 75%
