    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs. x.

    Then, the expenditure on interest on loans = Rs. (17.5% of x) = Rs[ \(\frac { 17.5 } { 100 }\) x ]

    and the expenditure on transport = Rs. (12.5% of x) = Rs [ \(\frac { 12.5 } { 100 }\) x ]

    Therefore Difference between the two expenditures = Rs .[ \(\frac { 17.5 } { 100 }\)- \(\frac { 12.5 } { 100 }\) ] 

                                                                            = Rs [ \(\frac { 5X } { 100 }\)]

    and so, the required percentage = [ \(\frac { 5X/100 } { 12.5X/100 } \) x 100 ]% = 40%
