Question

The ratio of the total expenditure on R & D and transport to the total expenditure on infrastructure and salary is $17:30$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Let the total amount of expenditures be $x$.
Then, the total expenditure on R & D and transport:

$=$ $\frac{24+10}{10+14+24+10+25+20+40}\times x$

$=\frac{34x}{143}$

And total expenditure on infrastructure and salary:

$=$ $\frac{10+40}{10+14+24+10+25+20+40}\times x$

$=\frac{50x}{143}$

Required ratio $=$ $\frac{\frac{34x}{1143}}{\frac{50x}{143}}$
$=$ $\frac{17}{25}$
