Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 1: 1.

Application

The average expenses on food, clothing, and miscellaneous items = (108 + 36 + 72)/3 = 216/3 = 72°

36° = 825

1° = 825/36

72° = (825/36) × 72 = 1650.

The sum of the average of the expense of saving and rent = (54 + 90)/2 = 72°

72° = 1650

Ratio =  1650/1650 = 1: 1
