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.

Guys if the question is the ratio between the Fuel.
And Transport (586) the total expenditure on Taxes (451) mean when the condition is 586/451 then what answer of that question please explain that.

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.

Simplify 451/586 : 586/451 = 0.76 : 1.28.
Approx.
1 : 1.3.
Note that you can't leave ratio in decimal figure. So, you multiply (1:1.3) by 10
= 10 : 13.
That's all.

@Sonam its simple.
We just need to multiply numerator and denominator by 10 so as to eliminate the decimal. We need fraction as a whole number.
1*10/1.3*10 = 10/13.

Its that needs to divide twice?
1st 451 divide by 586 = 0.77 (approx).
2nd time 586 divide by 451 = 1.3.
Is this is the way to calculate? Please suggest. Thanks.

Hey, @Ami you divided 586 by 451 and you got 1.3.
Actual is 451 divided by 586. You have to just reciprocal it. Then simply you will get 1:1.3.
That's it yar.

Consider single year(1998) taxes and fuel, expenditure and calculate the ratio between them.
Taxes: Fuel and expenditure.
98:83 = 98/83 = 10/13.
Taxes: Fuel and expenditure.
98:83 = 98/83 = 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.

We get 456/586 = (0.77)
Round off to 450/590(0.76) aprox then it becomes 45/59 = 3/4
= 1/( 4/3) = 1/1.3
