In which year is the ratio of EMI expenses to Savings the third highest?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. From the bar graph, note down the percentages of EMI expenses and Savings for each year:

- 2001: EMI = 30%, Savings = 50%
   - 2002: EMI = 40%, Savings = 42%
   - 2003: EMI = 35%, Savings = 45%
   - 2004: EMI = 38%, Savings = 40%
   - 2005: EMI = 33%, Savings = 45%

2. Calculate the ratio of EMI expenses to Savings for each year:

- 2001: $\frac{30}{50} = 0.6$
   - 2002: $\frac{40}{42} \approx 0.952$
   - 2003: $\frac{35}{45} \approx 0.778$
   - 2004: $\frac{38}{40} = 0.95$
   - 2005: $\frac{33}{45} \approx 0.733$

3. Arrange these ratios in descending order:

- 2002: 0.952
   - 2004: 0.95
   - 2003: 0.778
   - 2005: 0.733
   - 2001: 0.6

4. The third highest ratio is for the year 2003.

**Answer:** 2003

**Note:** The original answer given was 2004, but based on the calculated ratios, 2003 has the third highest ratio of EMI expenses to Savings.
