The tax on the salary of C is $ \frac {1}{4}$ of the salary and savings are $\frac{1}{3}$ of the salary. The ratio of the expenditure to the savings is:

Options:

4 : 5

4 : 3

5 : 4

3 : 4 

Correct Answer:

5 : 4

Explanation:

Expenditure = Salary - tax - savings 

Let the salary of C = 12

According to the question, 

tax       = \(\frac{1}{4}\)x12 =3

savings = \(\frac{1}{3}\)x12 =4

Expenditure = 12 - 3 - 4 = 5

Ratio of expenditure to savings = 5 : 4
