Correct Answer: 100%


Solution : Total expenditure is 1,680(in billions)
Amount of expenditure on Defence = 12% of 1680
= 0.12 × 1680
= 201.6
Amount of expenditure on Education = 6% of 1680
= 0.06 × 1680
= 100.8
Required percentage = $\frac{201.6-100.8}{100.8} × 100 $
= 100%
Hence, the correct answer is 100%.
