The questions are based on the pie charts given below. Chart $1$ shows the distribution of twelve million tons of crude oil transported through different modes over a specific period of time. Chart $2$ shows the distribution of the cost of transporting this crude oil. The total cost was Rs. $30$ million.

The cost in rupees per ton of oil moved by rail and road happens to be roughly

• A. $3$
• B. $1.5$
• C. $4.5$
• D. $8$

Comments

where is the chart?

Answer 1

$\boxed{907 \; \text{kg} = 1 \; \text{ton}}$

$12$ Million ton = $(12 \times 10^{6} \times 907) \; \text{kg} = 10884 \times 10^{6} \; \text{kg}$

$31\%$ volumn used for rail and road

So, Total volumn used for rail and road $= 10884 \times 10^{6} \times (31/100) = 337404 \times 10^{4} \; \text{kg}$

Cost of transportation for rail and road $=30 \times 10^{6} \times (18/100) = 540 \times 10^{4} \; \text{Rs}$

Cost of $(337404 \times 10^{4} \; \text{kg}) = 372 \times 10^{4} \; \text{ton}$ is $540 \times 10^{4} \; \text{Rs}$

"       "                                         $1$            "   " $1.45 \; \text{Rs}$

Answer $: 2$
