      A 16.67% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 18.75% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 17.47% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 19.50% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Current expenditure on Education = (15/100) × 6,00,000 = ₹90,000. Increased expenditure on Education = ₹90,000 × (120/100) = ₹1,08,000. Total new expenditure = ₹6,00,000 + ₹18,000 = ₹6,18,000. New percentage share of Education = (1,08,000/6,18,000) × 100 ≈ 17.47%. Correct option: c)
