Question : Direction: Study the bar graph given below, which shows the percent distribution of total expenditures of a company under various expenses, and answer the question.
If the total expenditure of the company is INR 20 crores, then the ratio of expenditure on transport to that on salary is:
Option 1: 5 : 4
Option 2: 4 : 5
Option 3: 5 : 8
Option 4: 8 : 5
Correct Answer: 5 : 8
Solution :
The total expenditure of the company is INR 20 crores.
Expenditure on transport = 12.5% = $\frac{12.5}{100} \times 2000000$ = 250000
Expenditure on salary = $\frac{20}{100} \times 2000000$ = 400000
The ratio of transport costs to salary = 250000 : 400000 = 5 : 8
Hence, the correct answer is 5 : 8.
