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.

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.

For easy calculate 451/586.
451*1 goes numerator.
And,
Denominator 1.29,so excatly 1.3,
1/1.3----------> point goes 10/13 for the ratio.

451:586 = 451/451:586/451 = 1:1.299.
Which is aprox equal to 1:1.3 = 10:13.
Which is aprox equal to 1:1.3 = 10:13.

Hi!
Why do we need to divide 451 to both 451 and 586?

Here the question is about approximation, not about the exact ratio. the total expenditure on fuel and on taxes 586 and 451 respectively.
Now, as per the question, we are going to find the ratio of fuel with respect to taxes.
586/451.
We get. 1:1.3 or 1/1.3.
We are not going to take decimal in the ratio.
So, we'll multiply with 10 bcoz the decimal is just before one digit. If the decimal is before two digits we ll multiply with 100. So it is 10:13.
Hope it is clear.
