B Correct answer
Explanation

A full circle is 360 degrees. The transport expense is (15/360) of the total salary. Expense = (15/360) * 15000 = (1/24) * 15000 = 625.

AI explanation

Using the pie chart formula, the value of an item is calculated as (sector angle / 360) multiplied by the total value. The transport expenditure equals (15 / 360) x 15000 = 625. The calculation shows the monthly expenditure is Rs 625.
