Correct Option: B
Total budget = $7,200
 Expenditure on Health =x/$7200 × 3600 = 600
 3600x = 600 × $7200
 x = 600×$7200/3600
 x = $1,200
 Budget allocated to Health is $1,200
 Expenditure on Agriculture = x /$7200 × 3600 = 800
 3600x = 800 × $7200
 x = 800 × $7200/3600
 x=$1,600
 Budget allocated to Agriculture is $1,600
 Ratio of expenditure on Health to Agriculture;
 Ratio=1200:1600
