A.

2:3

B.

3:4

C.

4:3

D.

5:4

Correct answer is B

Total budget =$7,200

  Expenditure on Health = x/$7200 × 3600 = 600

  3600x = 600 × $7200

  x = 600×$7200/3600

  x = $1,200

  Therefore, the budget allocated to Health is $1,200

  Expenditure on Agriculture =x /$7200 × 3600 = 800

  3600x = 800 × $7200

  x = 800 × $7200/3600

  x=$1,600

  Therefore, the budget allocated to Agriculture is $1,600

  Ratio of expenditure on Health to Agriculture;

  Ratio=1200:1600

  =3:4
