Solution :
From the given table,
The overall expenditure = Rs. (11 + 7 + 5 + 3 + 3)lakhs = Rs. 29 lakhs
The amount spent on taxes and raw materials = Rs. (11 + 3) lakhs = Rs. 14 lakhs
$\therefore$ The required percentage
$=\frac{\text{The total amount spent on taxes and raw materials}}{\text{Total expenditure}} \times 100=\frac{14}{29}\times 100=48.28\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 48.28%.
