(b)10\%
(c)20\%
(d)30\%
(e)40\%
Answer
Explanation
Let the total expenditure be ₹ $x$. Then, Expenditure on Interest on Loans $$=(17.5 \% \text { of } ₹ x)=₹\left(\frac{175 x}{1000}\right) .$$ Expenditure on Transport $$\begin{aligned} = & (12.5 \% \text { of ₹ } x)=₹\left(\frac{125 x}{1000}\right) . \\ \text { Difference } & =₹\left(\frac{175 x}{1000}-\frac{125 x}{1000}\right)=₹ \frac{(175 x-125 x)}{1000} \\ = & ₹ \frac{50 x}{1000}=₹ \frac{x}{20} . \\ \therefore \text { Required\% } & =\left\{\frac{x}{20} \times \frac{1000}{125 x} \times 100\right\} \%=40 \% . \end{aligned}$$
