From the given bar graph , we see
Percentage expenditure on loans = 17.5%
Percentage expenditure on advertisement, taxes and research and development = (15 + 10 + 5)% = 30%
∵ 17.5% ≡ $ 2.45 billion∴ 30% = 2.45 × 30 17.5
Correct Option: C

According to given bar graph , we have
The total expenditure on infrastructure and transport = 20 + 12.5 = 32.5%
The total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans = 10 + 17.5 = 27.5%
Required ratio = The total expenditure on infrastructure and transport : The total expenditure on taxes and interest on loansCorrect Option: B
According to given bar graph , we have
The total expenditure on infrastructure and transport = 20 + 12.5 = 32.5%
The total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans = 10 + 17.5 = 27.5%
Required ratio = The total expenditure on infrastructure and transport : The total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans
∴ Required ratio = 32.5 : 27.5 = 13 : 11

On the basis of given graph in question ,
The expenditure on research and development = 5
The total amount of expenditure of the company = 20 + 12.5 + 15 + 10 + 5 + 20 + 17.5 = 100
Total expenditure = 5 × N∴ N = 100 = 20 5
Correct Option: C
On the basis of given graph in question ,
The expenditure on research and development = 5
