Question

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

• A. 13:11
• B. 12:11
• C. 11:12
• D. 11:13
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

13:11

Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs.x.

Then, the total expenditure on infrastructure and transport = Rs. [(20 + 12.5)% of x] = Rs. [32.5% of x]

and total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans = Rs. [(10 + 17.5)% of x] = Rs. [27.5% of x]

Required Ratio = $\frac{13}{11}$
