The given bar graph shows the income and expenditure (in crores ₹) of a company over 5 years, from 2014 to 2018.

Study the bar graph and answer the question that follows.

2018

In 2014,

\(\frac{Income}{Expenditure}\) = \(\frac{225}{175}\)

= \(\frac{9}{7}\) = 1.28

In 2016,

\(\frac{Income}{Expenditure}\) = \(\frac{325}{275}\)

= \(\frac{13}{9}\) = 1.44

In 2017,

\(\frac{Income}{Expenditure}\) = \(\frac{350}{300}\)

= \(\frac{7}{6}\) = 1.16

In 2018,

\(\frac{Income}{Expenditure}\) = \(\frac{350}{325}\)

= \(\frac{14}{13}\) = 1.07

So , Ratio of income to expenditure is minimum in 2018 .
