Answer 1

Given:

Ratio of market prices of gram and pea = 2 : 5

Ratio of quantities consumed by the family = 4 : 3

Formula used:

Expenditure on an item = Market Price × Quantity Consumed

Ratio of expenditure = (Ratio of Market Prices) × (Ratio of Quantities Consumed)

Calculation:

Ratio of expenditure = (2 : 5) × (4 : 3)

⇒ (2 × 4) : (5 × 3)

⇒ 8 : 15

∴ The correct answer is option (3).
