Study the graph and answer the question that follows: The graph indicates the cost of the production of a firm.
A = Raw material cost
B = Packing material cost
C = Fixed manufacturing expenses
D = Labour cost

The total value in rupees of all sectors is 120.0 lakh.

If the total labour cost increases to Rs. 2.4 lakh, what percentage increase does it represent?

25%

300%

400%

75%

✅ Correct Option: 2

Find current labour cost from pie chart:

Total value = Rs. 120 lakh

Labour cost (D) = $(100-49-11-39.5)\%=0.5\%$ of total

Current labour cost = $\frac{0.5}{100} × 120$ = Rs. $0.6$ lakh

New labour cost is given:

New labour cost = Rs. $2.4$ lakh

Calculate percentage increase:

Percentage increase = $\frac{\text{New value - Original value}}{\text{Original value}} × 100$

= $\frac{2.4 - 0.6}{0.6} × 100$

= $\frac{1.8}{0.6} × 100$

= $3 × 100$

= $300\%$
