The ratio between the total expenditure on Taxes for all the years and the total expenditure on Fuel and Transport for all the years respectively, is approximately :

Answer: Option B

Total expenditure on Taxes
= Rs. (83 + 108 + 74 + 88 + 98) lakh
= Rs. 451 lakh
Total expenditure of Fuel and Transport
= Rs. (98 + 112 + 101 + 133 + 142) lakh
= Rs. 586 lakh
∴ Required ratio
$$\begin{array}{rl}& =\frac{451}{586}\\ & =\frac{1}{1.3}\\ & =\frac{10}{13}\\ & =10:13\end{array}$$
