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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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
