Correct Answer: 40%


Solution : From the graph,
The percentage of money spent on transit = 12.5
The percentage of money spent on loan interest = 17.5
Percentage increase = $\frac{\text{( Interest on loans expense – Transport expenditure)}}{\text{(Transport expenditure)}} \times 100$
So, the required percentage $=\frac{(17.5 – 12.5)}{12.5}\times100=\frac{5}{12.5} \times 100=40$%
Hence, the correct answer is 40%.
