A.

4 : 5

B.

4 : 3

C.

5 : 4

D.

3 : 4

Correct option is C

Given:
The tax on C's salary is 14 \frac{1}{4}​ of the salary.
The savings are 13 \frac{1}{3}​ of the salary.
Formula Used:
Expenditures = Salary – Tax − Savings
Solution:  
Let Salary of C = 12 
Then tax = 14×12=3\frac{1}{4}\times 12 = 3 
Saving = 13×12=4\frac{1}{3}\times12 = 4 ​​
Now, Expenditure = 12 - ( 3 + 4) = 5 

Thus the ratio of Expenditure : Saving = 5 : 4 .
