Explanation

The total transport payment is 60 + 80 + 75 + 95 + 105 = 415 lakh rupees. The total tax payment is 75 + 105 + 65 + 77 + 98 = 420 lakh rupees. The ratio 415:420 simplifies to 83:84.

AI explanation

We find the total payment on transport by adding the values across all years: 60 + 80 + 75 + 95 + 105 = 415. We find the total payment on taxes by adding those values: 75 + 105 + 65 + 77 + 98 = 420. The ratio is therefore 415 to 420, which simplifies by dividing both sides by 5 to 83 to 84. The result is 83 84.
