Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Let the total spendings on sports be Rs. a. Then,
Amount spent on cricket $ =Rs\text{. }( \frac{81}{360}\times a )=Rs\text{. }\frac{9a}{40} $
Amount spent of football $ =Rs\text{. }( \frac{54}{360}a )=Rs\text{. }\frac{3a}{20} $
Now, difference $ =Rs\text{. }( \frac{9}{40}a-\frac{3}{20} )=Rs\text{. }\frac{3}{40}a $
Now, required percentage
$ =,[ \frac{(3a/40)}{9a/40}\times 100 ], $ %= $ \frac{100}{3} $ %= $ 33\frac{1}{3} $ %
