UPSC CAPF – 2009
The correct option is C) C.
To find who saves the least percentage of his monthly income, we need to calculate the saving percentage for each person (A, B, C, and D). The percentage of saving is calculated as (Savings / Income) * 100%.
From the bar graph:
Person A: Income = 1000, Savings = 400. Saving Percentage = (400 / 1000) * 100% = 0.4 * 100% = 40%.
Person B: Income = 1500, Savings = 500. Saving Percentage = (500 / 1500) * 100% = (1/3) * 100% ≈ 33.33%.
Person C: Income = 2000, Savings = 600. Saving Percentage = (600 / 2000) * 100% = (6/20) * 100% = (3/10) * 100% = 30%.
Person D: Income = 2500, Savings = 800. Saving Percentage = (800 / 2500) * 100% = (8/25) * 100% = 0.32 * 100% = 32%.
Comparing the percentages: A=40%, B≈33.33%, C=30%, D=32%.
The least saving percentage is 30%, which corresponds to Person C.
This is a data interpretation question requiring calculation of percentages from a bar graph. The bar graph visually represents two data series (Income and Savings) for different categories (Persons A, B, C, D). Calculating the percentage of one value relative to another is a common type of quantitative reasoning task.
