[expand title=”Answer & Explanation”]
- (D)
Amount spent on labour
= (90/360)*1500000
= 3, 75, 000
- (A)
Amount spent on bricks, steel and cement
= [(54+54+72)/360]*100 = 50%
- (B)
% of amount spent on timber with respect to the amount spent on cement
= (36/72)*100 = 50%
- (C)
Amount spent on labour and supervision
= `[(90+54)/360]*1500000
= 6, 00,000
