Read the below passage carefully and answer the questions:

The government of an island nation is in the process of deciding how to spend its limited income. It has $7 million left in its budget and eight programs to choose among. There is no provision in the constitution to have a surplus, and each program has requested the minimum amount they need; in other words, no program may be partially funded. The programs and their funding requests are:

* Hurricane preparedness: $2.5 million
* Harbor improvements: $1 million
* School music program: $0.5 million
* Senate office building remodeling: $1.5 million
* Agricultural subsidy program: $2 million
* National radio: $0.5 million
* Small business loan program: $3 million
* International airport: $4 million

1. 

Senators from urban areas are very concerned about assuring that there will be funding for a new international airport. Senators from rural areas refuse to fund anything until money for agricultural subsidies is appropriated. If the legislature funds these two programs, on which of the following could they spend the rest of the money?

[A]. the school music program and national radio
[B]. hurricane preparedness
[C]. harbor improvements and the school music program
[D]. small business loan program
[E]. national radio and senate office building remodeling

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The total cost of the school music program and national radio is $1 million, the amount left after the international airport and agricultural subsidies are funded.
International airport + Agricultural subsidy program
$4 million + $2 million = $6 million
school music program and national radio is $1 million.
Hence, Total $7 million.

Why can't the answer be option B when its useful in saving life and in case of emergency ?

Yes even I believe the same why can't they spend money for hurricane preparedness.

Vinay said: (Sun, Jun 26, 2011 12:23:29 PM)    
 
The remaining left over fund is just $1 million.

As per question hurricane preparedness needs $2. 5 million, hence option b is wrong.

But here didn't mention remaining is $1million. I didn't get this.

From international airport & agriculture we get 4+2= 6$. if we add it to huricane we get 6 +2.5 =8.5$ . But budget only 7$.

So option A only satisfies with it.

Answer is Harbour improvement, as it is a capital investment, it will bring revenue in future and profits our of that can be utilized in further development.
