- BThe food expense of family B is equal to the total expense of family A
- CFamilies A and B spend equally on food.
- DFamilies A and B spend equally on entertainment
Explanation
On the printed figures: A-misc = 20% of Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 4,000 vs B-entertainment = 20% of Rs. 10,000 = Rs. 2,000 (not equal); A-food = Rs. 10,000 vs B-food = Rs. 1,000 (not equal); A-entertainment = Rs. 6,000 vs B-entertainment = Rs. 2,000 (not equal); B-food (Rs. 1,000) vs A-total (Rs. 20,000) (not equal). No option holds on the printed numbers, so the source figure is evidently misprinted (if family B's income were Rs. 100,000, option (c) would hold); the official key retained (c).
