The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 100%.
Total expenditure = Rs.1680
The amount of expenditure on defense = 12% of 1680
⇒ 12/100 × 1680 = 201.6
The amount of expenditure on education = 6% of 1680
⇒ 6/100 × 1680 = 100.8
Required percentage = Difference between expenditure/The amount of expenditure on education × 100
