    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 .[ \(\frac { 27.5X } { 100 } \)]

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