Correct Answer: 22.5%


Solution : Given: A family earns INR 75,000, out of which 10% is saved. 30% of the expenditure is incurred on education, while INR 30,375 is spent on health and the remaining amount is spent on food.
The savings on education = $75000 \times \frac{90}{100}\times \frac{70}{100}=$ INR 47,250
The expenditure on food = 47250 – 30375 = INR 16,875
The percentage of food expenditure to the total income = $\frac{16875}{75000}\times 100=22.5\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 22.5%.
