Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : A

Given:

Taxes

2008 = 83, 2009 = 108, 2010 = 74, 2011 = 88, 2012 = 98

Fuel and Transportation 

2008 = 98, 2009 = 112, 2010 = 101, 2011 = 133, 2012 = 142

Calculation:

Total expenditure on taxes

⇒ 83 + 108 + 74 + 88 + 98 

⇒ 451

Total expenditure on Fuel and Expenditure

⇒ 98 + 112 + 101 + 133 + 142

⇒ 586

Approximate Ratio

⇒ 451 : 586

Divide by 45

⇒ 10 : 13      ----(Approximate value)

∴ The approximate ratio is 10 : 13.
