In a provincial development fund, the allocation ratio between Health, Education, and Roads is 4:5:7. If the Roads allocation exceeds Health by Rs. 210 million, what is the total development fund?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Rs. 1120 million
- Step 1: Let allocations be 4x, 5x, and 7x. Total = 16x.
- Step 2: Roads - Health = 7x - 4x = 3x.
- Step 3: 3x = 210 million => x = 70 million.
- Step 4: Total fund = 16 * 70 = Rs. 1120 million.
