What is the ratio of the total expenditure on infrastructure and transport to the total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans?

5:4

8:7

9:7

13:11

Answer : Option D

Explanation :

Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs. x.

Then, the total expenditure on infrastruture and transport

= Rs. [(20 + 12.5)% of x]

= Rs. [32.5% of x]

= Rs . [ $\frac { 32.5X } { 100 }$ ]

and total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans

= Rs. [(10 + 17.5)% of x]

= Rs. [27.5% of x]

= Rs .[ $\frac { 27.5X } { 100 }$ ]

Required ratio = [ $\frac { 32.5 X/100 } { 27.5X/100 }$ ] = $\frac { 1 3} {11}$
