Direction: The bar-graph given below shows the percentage distribution of total expenditures of a company under various expense heads during 2013. Study the graph and answer the given questions.
-
The ratio of the total expenditure on infrastructure and transport to the total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans is
-
- 5 : 4
- 8 : 7
- 9 : 7
- 13 : 11
Correct Option: D
From the given bar diagram , we see
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
