Question

The bar graph given below shows the amount (in’000) of tax paid by three different people. Read the data carefully and answer the questions. ![image.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/aptidude/image/upload/v1755952435/aptidude_questions/raeto3dkbojvuatnyfmq.png)
What is the approximate percentage by which the total tax paid by Tarun in both years is more or less than the total tax paid by Mayank in both years?
Calculate:
$$	ext{Percentage difference} = \frac{(	ext{Total tax by Tarun}) - (	ext{Total tax by Mayank})}{	ext{Total tax by Tarun}} 	imes 100$$

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. From the graph, the tax paid by Tarun in 2018 is 40,000 and in 2019 is 36,000. So, total tax paid by Tarun = 40 + 36 = 76 (in '000).

2. The tax paid by Mayank in 2018 is 24,000 and in 2019 is 30,000. So, total tax paid by Mayank = 24 + 30 = 54 (in '000).

3. Calculate the difference between total tax paid by Tarun and Mayank:
   $$76 - 54 = 22$$

4. Calculate the percentage difference relative to Tarun's total tax:
   $$\frac{22}{76} 	imes 100 = 28.94\% \approx 29\%$$

**Answer:** 29\%
