Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 150
Spent on transport in 2019 = Rs 27 million
Expenses share of transport = 18%
Expenses share of agriculture = 30%
Expenses share of health = 15%
Expenses share of irrigation = 25%
Expenses share of dairy = 12%
The total composition of each sector = Percentage Expenses × Amount in one percent
18% of transport expenses contain = Rs 27 million = Rs 27000000
1% of the expenses include = 27000000/18 = 1500000
Expenses share of agriculture = 30(1500000) = 45000000
Expenses share of health = 15(1500000) = 22500000
Expenses share of irrigation = 25(1500000) = 37500000
Expenses share of dairy = 2(1500000) = 18000000
Total Expenses of all sectors = 27000000 + 45000000 + 22500000 + 37500000 + 18000000 = Rs. 150000000 = 150 Million
