UPSC 1995: Consider the diagram given below: (Pie-chart showing family expenditure with segments labelled T: Transport, Ec: Education of children, H: Housing, C: Clothing, F: Food, S: Savings, O: Others.) From the diagram shown it would be right to conclude that
(a)the family spent more than half the income on food and clothing
(b)the amount saved by the family was too little
(c)the family had no health problems
(d)the family managed to meet all the essential expenses out of the income earned

Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) the family managed to meet all the essential expenses out of the income earned
The sectors shown (food, clothing, housing, education, transport, savings and others) account for all customary outgoes; the pie indicates each essential head receives an allocation, so the family succeeds in meeting every essential expense from its income. Other options over-interpret single slices (food + clothing < 50 %; savings are a visible slice; ‘others’ could include health).
