Correct Answer: 124 : 69


Solution : Here, 100% = Rs. 50,000
⇒ 1% represents = Rs. 500
Now, the monthly expenditure on Entertainment , travel and miscellaneous = (10% + 10% + 11%) = 31% of 50,000
⇒ $\frac{31}{100}$ × 50000 = Rs. 15500
Also, the monthly expenditure on Food, education, electricity, and medicine = (30% + 15% + 9% + 15%) = 69% of 50,000
⇒ $\frac{69}{100}$ × 50000 = Rs. 34,500
So, average expenditure = $\frac{34500}{4}$ = Rs. 8625
$\therefore$ Ratio = 15500 : 8625 = 124 : 69
Hence, the correct answer is 124 : 69.
