The ratio between the total expenditure on taxes for all the years and the total expenditure on fuel and transport for all years respectively is approximately?

Options:

1 : 1

2 : 3

4 : 3

5 : 6

Correct Answer:

2 : 3

Explanation:

Total expenditure on taxes for all years = 76 + 96 + 84 + 85 + 89 = 430

Total expenditure on fuel and transport for all years = 96 + 156+135+124+134 = 645

Required ratio = 430 : 645

10×43 : 15×43

2 : 3
