Question

What is the ratio of the total expenditure on infrastructure and transport to the total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans?

Answer 1

Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs. x.

Then, the total expenditure on infrastruture and transport

= Rs. [(20 + 12.5)% of x]

= Rs. [32.5% of x]

= Rs. ( 32.5x )

100

and total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans

= Rs. [(10 + 17.5)% of x]

= Rs. [27.5% of x]

= Rs. ( 27.5x )

100

Therefore Required ratio = ( 32.5x/100 ) = 13 .

27.5x/100 11
