Simple dont be complicate, take calc in phone put 451/586= 0.769 keep this value and divide all the options given;
Take option a) 4:7 means 4/7=0.571.
Option b) 10:13 means 10/13=0.769 this is the value we got.
So option B is correct.
This is called reverse Engineering

How to make calculations easy, the nearest number of 451 is 450 and the nearest 586 is 600.
So here we can divide 450/600=3/4 and we know that 3/4 is 0.75,
Here only 10/13 gives 0.76.
So here we can divide 450/600=3/4 and we know that 3/4 is 0.75,
Here only 10/13 gives 0.76.

451÷586 to round off.
Now subtract -1 from both numerator and denominator.
So 451-1=450 and 586-1 = 585.
Now, it becomes 450÷585 then it can be divisible by 5.
It becomes 90÷117 then divide it by 3 table
It becomes 30÷39 again divisible by 3 table
It becomes 10÷13.
While taking ratio it can be said as 10:13.

The total expenditure of all tax given : total of Fuel & transport.
= (83 + 108 + 74 + 88 + 98) : ( 98 + 112 + 101 + 133 + 142),
= 451 : 586.
= 451/586.
= 0.76.
As only 10/13 gives 0.76 (from all options) so the answer is 10:13.
= (83 + 108 + 74 + 88 + 98) : ( 98 + 112 + 101 + 133 + 142),
= 451 : 586.
= 451/586.
= 0.76.
As only 10/13 gives 0.76 (from all options) so the answer is 10:13.

@Pihu.
Very simple method: (approximation).
(451 - 1) = 450 and (586 - 1) = 585.
Now take these 2 values for calculation (we have subtracted the same amount from both numbers).
Ratio = 450/585 = 90/117 = 30/39 = 10/13.
Then, ratio = 10:13.

I think the simplest method to do this complicated division of 451/586 would be like this:-
Let's calculate 50%of 586 it would be 293.
Now, 10% of 586 is 58.6.
So add 10% to 293 thereby 60%of 586 is 293+58.6 = 351.6.
Now 70% of 586 would be 351.6 + 58.6 = 410.2.
So, it is confirmed that 451/586 is to be between 70% -80%.
Checking the options you would find only C to be 78%.
So, that is the right answer.
