    Correct option is B

    Given:
    The table shows the expenditure (in million $) of Company A over the years 2012 to 2015 for different items: Salary, Transport, Interest on loans, and Taxes.
    Transport expenditures:

    2013: 60 million
    2014: 71 million
    2015: 82 million
    Solution:
    Taxes in 2014 (Part):
    Taxes (2014) = 2 million.
    Total Transport Expenditure (Whole):
    48 + 60 + 71 + 82 = 261 million.
    Ratio =Taxes in 2014Total Transport=2261=1130.5= \frac{\text{Taxes in 2014}}{\text{Total Transport}} = \frac{2}{261} = \frac1{130.5}​​
